Anybody else tried this stuff? Does it hold up?

Don't know what Gates XL is but the question of whether the return hose will hold up is a good one, if you refer to an engine that requires valve adjustments, because the hose is usually shot by the time the valves need to be lashed.
Its not really necessary to use anything other than the OE return hose on the 617 etc because of this. In the case of the 603 engines I use Viton return line and should 5 or 10 years on it, time will tell (I won't be driving the car by then!)
