Get some heater hose from your local autoparts store -- hose that has an I.D. that is about the size of the cooler line's O.D. Also get some zip ties. We cut some lengths of the heater hose -- maybe 6" or so -- and then slit them lengthwise. Anywhere the oil cooler lines go around something, we put these short pieces on with zip ties for added protection from abrasion. Just a thought.

You should budget two hours or thereabouts. Good luck, man.
Thanks for the input! Funny that you mention that. I had read about the heater hose stuff in one of the threads here and bought some for that purpose.
