Has anyone replaced or upgraded the bitch tube with something... different? Seems to cause a lot of headaches and leaks. Curious if anyone has gone about replacing it with some sort of line/tubing by tapping the intake manifold and the engine block hole, running swivel hose ends between? Another option? Just curious while I'm "in there" replacing the head gasket.
The end of mine got chewed up somehow. Not getting a proper fit anymore.
It's really only a bitch the first time. After that, you remember to replace the o-rings and use the zip tie trick on the spring.
