My engine is out right now and I keep going back and forth. It's good to see what others have done.

I've cleaned up the engine bay a lot... I've thought about replacing the soft lines with braided SS.
Shop I go to falls on the nuke capability side and has never seen one fail. Told me sunlight doesn't even degrade the stuff.
We've been using ethanol for years now and you'd think if it was an issue it would be a common complaint.
Who here has had one fail from degradation?
