I don't know why I was so worried about it...wasn't too bad to do once I did it

If you're just going to clamp a hose on the filter, I would shove the hose over the flared part and then put a clamp on it, it will be a little tough to do, but it would be a more solid connection. Also, what's the blue thing on the output side of the filter? Looks like a quick disconnect tool?

its was the return line, thats why i didn't put it on over the lip, its actually kinda a temp thing anyhow....

on to the next objective...that blue thing is a quick connect, i got it in a fuel line kit i bought a company a member suggested on here...pretty easy setup, i did have to go get a couple things since i went mostly quick connect...the only thing i didn't like about the kit was that it didn't come with two male connectors, that would have been good for a couple things on here...with the spot where i have the hose clamp I'm going to put another quick connect on there...i wasn't rushing but want to see how it would fit up there and how it would be around the exhaust, i do have the nylon hose covered with hose to help protect if from the heat...im also kinda paranoid about the lines so I'm going to wrap the exhaust back some so i don't have to worry about it

Do you have a 5/16 quick connect you could put on the return? Also, not sure what you mean by the two male connectors? And the blue thing on the output of the filter, the filter has a retainer in it, you shouldn't need anything else.

i see...thats probably why it was such a pain in the butt to get out when i put it on....im actually worried about that...i may have to get a new filter...i bent one of the do dads in there when i pulled it out...i was able to bend it back, but still worried a bit

swapping those valve covers around looks a lot better man....thanks for the correction...looks a lot better with the oil cap on there correctly
