Be. sure to blow air and some cleaner through the finished lines. Lines can flake some metal off the bends on the inside.

I don’t know why I love the “I want a bus engine” I look forward to it every Silverado vid.

[@anomamos9095]

Tip Grab some Oxy welding rods and bend those into the required shapes first to check layout and get all the angles. If you slip some plastic or rubber tube over the wires to bulk them out to the same size as the pipe you can reduce possible headaches and wasted time significantly

[@KY.0009]

Or metal coat hangers lol

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]

Good tip = ) Also keep the old lines for reference, a lot of the bends will be similar.

[@harambeexpress]

I was about to suggest something similar (heavy gauge electrical wire).

[@anomamos9095]

@@harambeexpress Too expensive unless you have some scrap laying around. Fencing wire is good too but oxy rods are the best as they are straight about as long as you need and you still get to weld with them when you're done.

I recently had to bend two (the horror!) short brake lines for a new brake master cylinder, and it took forever to get them looking just okay. I am impressed. Looks great.

[@bannedbycommieyoutube5time920]

I had to do about 2/3 of the brake lines on a 98 Honda Accord. Didn’t really have the right tools, took forever, so I understand your pain. Really makes you appreciate the skills of professionals like this channel and others.

[@turboflush]

Quality tools make a bif difference. Especially with these knock off being so easy to get.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Use copper nickel line, doesn't corrode as quickly and its easy to bend, I've done 3 vehicles, two of them full size trucks, bending all if it by hand 😅

[@randr10]

I did a trailer with surge brakes a few years ago and bought the bulk brake line in long coils. Changed my life. Way better than doing it in short lengths like you buy at the parts store. Once you get it all bent up and cut, flare the ends with fittings on (don't forget!) and you're done.

[@haydencarlson2861]

@@Beandiptheredneck i had to do my 06 glad i got the copper lines now they wont rust again

[@KaiserBruh]

i had to bend one brake line on my dentside. just one i dam near lit the truck on fire just so i ddint have to bend that line. big props to you Rich for the determination

[@gearmob3555]

The expansion and contraction of the lines while in operation will 'work harden' the lines, leading to great difficulty trying to reshape the original lines. Good choice to go with new lines. Beautiful job you're doing.

[@ralphmenta249]

I know this may seem like a simple note, but to others please remember this. Line length is always measured thru the centerline of the line. Sounds a bit confusing but it always ends up being the average, no matter how long the line.

[@builtbyme]

I actually powdercoated my metal lines black on top of the valve cover, and white running through the rest on my duramax. I learned the hard way that paint and diesel dont like one another, but powdercoat holds up very good. So even cracking a line or road dirt or anything, they just wipe clean no issue and powdercoat stays on nicely. Just used a household electric oven i bought on marketplace, a harbor freight powdercoat gun, and a plywood box to spray it all in. #alwaysdirtylookingrich

Oh man…. That looks nice!! Better than factory right there!

[@barryanscombe3427]

Have done this on stuff for medical air supply, best way I've found is use a copper line of same or similar size and you can to the bulk of it and copy. Hardest are the little kinks. You get to know how tight you can bend with practice and how much you canxadjust by hand as you've been doing. Cracking job as always 👌👌. Not being critical in any way, if it works it works. Just a tip for any future jobs like this.

[@PopsHowTo]

Thanks Rich! Build is looking great! Walking away from a project and taking a break is some of the best advice!

[@perotekku]

Honestly one of the hardest lessons I had to teach myself. My dad still hasn't learned this, and I picked it up from him working in the garage. You don't even have to leave the shop, just go sweep up, have a seat, whatever.

Hi from uk rich 👍👋 good job so far👌 I could watch you all day set challenges and overcome problems you go above and beyond all the time 👍 and great guy awesome content thank you for your time and be safe see you soon 👍👋

[@platorats]

I feel your pain, trying to bend that heavy wall tube. Even with a proper bender it takes a lot of effort. I couldn't tell if there were some nicks in the lines, or if it was marks for where to bend. Be careful not to nick the lines, that will cause a stress riser which is where the line will crack. I've had hydraulic lines that I made for an abusive circuit, split at a a blemish that I caused while fabricating it. Party on Garth, and keep up the good work.

[@danielmoss2394]

You, my friend, are an artist as well as a master fabricator and engine builder. That’s the ultimate trifecta. A pleasure to watch always.

[@chloehennessey6813]

[@wazza33racer]

In Australia, the Navy commissioned a company to replace the high pressure steel injector lines on a large marine ship engine........the contractor just did the job with flexible hydraulic lines...........which in service ruptured, sprayed copious amounts of fuel all over the engine room and killed a bunch of people in the resulting fire ( HMAS Westralia) . So dont cut corners on high pressure fuel injection. Do everything just as the factory intended.

[@andrewjck1]

I prefer the Eastwood bender that has degree markings and handles for leverage. Furthermore I put some anti seize in the grooves. Under pressure it still allows the lines slide in the groove instead of stretching the walls. It’s a more effortless and accurate bend

[@wizardofhyd]

Good work on the lines Rich!

[@Brad-lt6mr]

I was taught the thing about equal injection line length, back in the early 90s. I had an argument with another pro mechanic recently, who said this was not the case. Trying to Google up-to-date info, all I could find was a reference in a marine engineers book from the 40s.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

In the last shop I worked on, ee had a tool in the old shop that would clamp around the lines and you could actually see the timing through the expansion of the line like a timing light.

[@NBSV1]

The engineers that designed the stock engines are usually pretty good. And, they’re under a lot of pressure to cut cost as much as possible. So, if a shorter line is cheaper and they could use it they would. Even with the common rails they’re often the same length. I imagine there’s some sort of harmonics from the injectors pulsing the fuel.

[@dennyfuller437]

Enoughs enough! It’s time to jump on the give away bandwagon! Do one of those buy merch and enter for a chance to win deals!! I can’t tell you how many tee shirts I’d buy for a chance to win one of your builds!!! GIVE THE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO WIN!!!!

[@justinwatch]

Rich, I hope you don't get a copyright infringement for using the 70's Dating Game's music on your time lapse. 🤣

[@TaunusMicha]

This one's really interesting for me, because my RV, based on a Ford A-Series Truck (british Truck from the 70's) has different tube lengths from factory. So i got 6 different lengths. I'm now thinking that it might run nicer with same length tubes. Problem here in Europe: I got a cracked line two years ago and didn't find a single workshop who could make a new one for me. They all asked for the VIN to order one. But the A-Series is old and rare, you couldn't order parts for it. So a shop in Italy (the line cracked due a holiday trip) did a temporary welding on it. Back at home i contacted nearly 40 Workshops, mostly special truck workshops, but not a single one could help. At least i found a shop for tractor parts who could deliver an unbend line like yours, but 2 cm longer than the original. But as all my lines have different lengths i didn't care about that. Now i'm thinking of redoing all the lines to same length. Still thinking about an engine swap to a more efficient engine but german TÜV don't like my idea.

[@noscopesallowed8128]

Do you have to get permission from the TUV to do an engine swap on a vehicle in Germany? I know they're stickers for emissions and what not, but it would be... unfortunate if they didn't allow a swap to something even better.

[@TaunusMicha]

@@noscopesallowed8128 you need permission for everything here. It's crazy.

[@Lancemechanics]

I know its expansive. but cupro nickel brake line. I used that as a tool for fabrication all the time. saves so much guess work when making bends for lines.

[@keiranjones5833]

You can usually buy a length of solder with the same sectional size as the pipe your bending then have it cut to the same length. that way you can practice how you want to run each one then bend the pipe exactly the same
