Yep I love hardlines, and this one would not have been an issue if they had simply added support or routed it so it was not overhung… to be fair, where hoses are specified, typically so are inspection and replacement intervals for the reasons mentioned…

Or OEM has repeatedly failed destroying engines:)

Its only for the 3116 governor oil feed line…

Yep, you could probably drill and tap a hole. It is not structural, it just needs to act as a strut and keep the line from oscilating...

If I kept the steel line I would support it back to the block in the middle of the loop. The issue is the oem is like a ruler held on the edge of a table like a diving board. Twang it enough and it will fatigue and break... Dont have this issue with hose...

That hydraulic hose is more forgiving of bend radius than the braided teflon, but it was probably still closing in on minimum bend radius, so they were probably encouraged to lengthen it a little. A little longer is better IMO. Some of the teflon installs I have seen are downright scary tight.
