Hi folks. First Post here be gentle please.

I have noticed that the braided oil cooler hose is bent slightly. Pics should be attached. I assume it'll be a runner hose under the braid which is there for protection. Wonder whether anyone would recommend changing it out?[/img]

It's fine. I wouldn't bother worrying.

Yeah , I agree with Nobb . I had to change all the fuel lines on my car for braided after fuck eyed rats ate the originals. ( Oh the joys of running veg oil) I can concur that they literally are , just a rubber pipe with stainless braid over it. Here the braid has done excatly what it was meant to - protect the rubber underneath.

They also run pretty high pressure. If it starts leaking, it doesn't leak just a little bit.
