That hose was already on the engine when I received it. I'll probably be replacing it with larger AN fittings and hose. Since I haven't yet deterimned exactly where my oil cooler is going to be mounted, I really hadn't given much consideration to the hoses. Thanks for the heads-up regarding hose size requirements.
