yep, the consensus seems to be pierberg...adds money to the job, but figure Ill follow that advice. Which hoses, are there part numbers out there? THIS IS THE 3.2 S MODEL (BOTH OF THEM)
The hoses do worry me since these are nearly 20 years old. are some more prone to failure then others?

I replaced the oil heat exchanger O rings while I did WP thermo coolant

... might as well upgrade the oil pressure relief valve, while you're under there. Inexpensive part... 5 minute job.
