You can even use a straight hose with a spring like device (that you can find in stores) to prevent the hose from collapsing. Also, keep in mind that if you use coolant hose they will not last long because they are not designed to resist oil!

Simple idea...verify everything that you replace, is indeed a known-good asset, even if it's new.

Bad plug wire going to the number 6 cylinder. Lesson learned...the hard way.
