One of the lines (cyl #5) seems to be leaking at the IP , even after tightening it down, in the past I have replaced #4 line for the same reason.

I do use the holddown clamps that clasp it to the intake at various points with the plastic clips but I drive a bit on washboard roads and dirt roads and they jar loose and this seems to vibrate and fracture the lines.


Can I bend tubing to the same shape, flare them and use it or am I restricted to paying $45 per line from MB USA ??
