Hoses coming off socketless fittings, lines bursting on crimped fittings,..
Starting to wonder if a blown engine is worth it as well as all the worrying just to keep oil temps down. Im changing my oil without installing an oil cooler till more info gets posted. I already have my RacerParts kit and was going to install this morning until I read about the socketless problems for a refresher this morning. A few hours ago I ordered crimped hoses from Mike and will wait for them. And just now I read about crimped hoses coming off, albeit from a vendor, but I hate to have reliability problems as well as have to worry about the lines all the time and contemplating doing this at all... I mean, how do you test a crimped fitting without stressing the fitting itself "before" putting on your car as wouldn't this weaken a strong crimp in the first place?
