Nowt wrong with your hose mod, saved a small fortune too, personally, I'd av upgraded the oil cooler too, plenty better/larger cooler on sale with little mods required.
Hi folks i did this fix on my 2002 VTEC i had to make my top points slightly shorter than in this video as my pipes were pretty bad. I bought 10mm internal 17mm external fuel oil 20 bar pipe and some 14-17mm stanless clamps. On the side that has the radiator with the fan i had to squash the holding guide that holds the pipe so it had a better grip as well as tie wrap the hose to the Radiator so as to ensure the pipe does not interfere with the fan when it operates. So far so good, runs up to temp fine with no leaks or problems.
My 2008 just started doing this about a week ago. Still waiting on the honda line arriving. They're stupid expensive. Guessing I'll probably need to buy another one before my next service just to keep both pipes about even in degradation
I have the same problem on my VFR. I'm hoping your fix will save me a ton of cash. Cheers for the great vid!

I am giving this a go also, seems a great idea and massive saving on cost.

Yoh cool video man
Hi … I see a few folk have asked the same question. …. Did your fix hold up over the year ?
Would belling the end of the metal pipe be advantageous?
How's it holding up after a year? One of mine need replacing and be good to put the money towards other parts if this mod holds up
Hi mate, I was just wondering if the oil hose mod on the VFR worked out ok? Or did it cause problems?
