for your oil return? i'm not sure that dishwasher hose could stand the heat if anything, go to the auto parts store and get some of the thick high pressure fi hose. it's only a couple bucks a foot.

just spend the money and get some ss braided hoses. it will save you in the long run from worrying about melting anything. a freind of mine had a 2003 wrx and the rubber return line rubbed against the block and melted it and drained the oil out of the car in a matter of minutes. all of a sudden some not so good stuff happened, and not to mention those motors are not cheap. see if that was ss it wouldnt of melted. so just dish out the 40 bux and get the stuff that wont break
