I have a quick short question regarding my 14b install I am working on. I am feeding it from the head and am wondering if this is too much of a bend on the ss line I have on it. I can't find any pictures of this specific spot on anyone else's car, but I assume that all ss feeds hit this water pipe and bend up drastically.

Thats a PTFE hose isnt it? The bend is borderline, and can cause the barb inside to cut the tube, but the main concern here is that that braided cover absolutely CANNOT be touching anything or you are going to rub a hole through the braid for sure, and it is currently rubbing the engine block, I can see it in the pic. The braid is the only thing giving the hose any pressure holding capability, and as soon as there is a hole through the braid, the tube will burst instantly. Either try turning the banjo bolt to move the hose or get a 45 degree -4 male x female adapter, but do it soon.
