Speed 6 engine rebuild question

[Jasper Gilder]

Hi all

Interested to hear - when you had your speed 6 rebuilt - did they replace the radiator hoses?

Jasper, why do you ask ? its not part of the engine rebuild if you check out the rebuild list, I had all mine changed to silicon while having engine rebuilt as I saved money on labour as engine was out anyway

Not in my case. Oil pipes were replaced though, just in case any little bits of metal were hiding there. Made sense to me.

^This... replaced the top rad hose like for like as I'm not a fan of silicon hides.

When I had mine rebuilt I had all of the oil hoses replaced, I had the oil cooler flushed and I changed all of the water hoses, not that the water hoses were necessary but while the engine was out it seemed sensible to do so.
