SS oil drain line
 
How many of you guys are running stainless steel drain line? I'd like to go stainless on my new motor and i was wondering what size hoese are you guys using, and where'd you get them from. I know you need at least 1/2 diameter, but some of this -AN stuff confuses me a bit. What is a good size? -10AN? Also, how do you cut and add fittings to the hose?

Everybody running Stealthmode's kit is using a braided stainless line. -10

Pretty sure -10 is 5/8 inch.

I've used both -10 SS and both 5/8 and 3/4 heavy duty rubber hose with success.

Im running -8an SS lines. Honestly anything over 1/2in(-8an) will work.

Every time you see AN lines they are all called - something. Just to clear something up I will let you guys in.

-x/16 of a inch

-3 = 3/16 of a inch
-16 = 16/16 of a inch
-8 = 8/16 or 1/2

To cut the ss lines you need an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel on it. Then tape the part you are cutting with duct tape.

Or just a dremel
