Oil and coolant line adjustment for 01E swap

[GreggPDX]

For those of you that have done the swap using the kit from SteveKen, how did you "adjust" the coolant and oil hard lines that run on top of the starter? There is not much room for the oil line once the exhaust manifold is installed, so did you move it up above the starter solenoid, or down low along side of the solenoid? There mounting tabs for the lines right there as well, what did you do with those?

I've seen it posted a few times, hope someone chimes in. Here's a related(?) starter issue. http://www.rs6.com/showthread.php/32949-Complicated-intermittent-click-no-start-issue

I added a very gentle bend to the oil line just enough to clear the top of the starter solenoid but still secure to the coolant line using the original tab.

This.

The lines are malleable enough to move/massage them free from any obstructions.

Be extra careful when installing the exhaust manifold and turbo - so you don't pinch the oil feed between the turbo and engine block...

Was there any need to "adjust" the coolant line as well, or can it stay in the stock location?

Very carefully! Ask me how I know!

As mentioned above, its very easy to pinch it and thereby ground it out when you reconnect the battery.
