I hate when simple things turn into the worst part of the job.
This braided drain line from ESP seems impossible to install into the engine block. There's too much stuff in the way to come at it straight ahead, and the braided line is too stiff to bend it and come at it from an angle. Seems like the #$@^ water pump has to come off. Can't believe the ends aren't swivels and they didn't make a bend at one end of the line to clear everything.
Any tips? Hell I'll buy a 45deg swivel for the end of this thing before I tear apart the front of my engine just to get it in.
Anyone know what size the threads are in the engine block and at the adapter that the drain line screws into and bolts to the bottom of the turbo? Might try buying my own fittings and making my own line.
