water line

[1fast97gsx]

I did a 1g headswap and I also upgraded to an sc 61 turbo. When I put the turbo in under the hood it hits the hard water line that runs from the oil filter housing to the thermostat housing. ( Not the big one that runs across the front of the block from the water pump ) Can I just put a rubber hose there or will the heat down there somehow mess up the hose over time? Should I just try bending the line? Thanks.

I ran into a similar issue with my 50 trim, all I had to do was remove the line from it's mounting bracket right underneath the thermostat housing. This let it sit back closer to the block, tuck underneath the other hard water pipe, and allowed me to fit the 50 trim in there.
