silicone hose as oil return?

Re: silicone hose as oil return?
So would I. I just ran across a guy that had a small kink when his engine rocked using 3/4" silicon hose. It burst.
On a different Toyota v6, there is a rubber crossover for coolant on the block. I knew a guy that used high-temp silicon for that. It burst too.
Leave silicon hose for something like a vacuum line. if there's going to be any chance of it holding pressure... Forget it.

oil return doesn't have any pressure, it's gravity fed. i have used the same piece of silicone/neoprene/rubber high temp hydrualic hose for 3 years. it is also high pressure, but you don't need high pressure...just something to handle the extreme temp and corrosiveness of near boiling oil.
i would stay away from flimsy straight silicone type hose. i don't think it can handle that much temperature.

i have a 1in o/d and 5/8 in i/d hi temp silicone hose thats blue on the outside and orange on the inside (if thats what you're talking about) for the oil return....i dont forsee a problem with as there isnt really any pressure as its gravity fed like scttydb411 said, but im a noob.....
