HPOP upgrade

[rascal]

I decided to upgrade my HPOP to an Andrenaline while I am doing my EBPV delete and RR install. I have already ordered a new IPR but I was wondering if it is good practice to go ahead and install new HPOP lines while I am at it. Mine aren't leaking but will the increase pressure cause problems with old lines? Truck has 115K on the clock.

Also, like a dummy I was trying to get around draining coolant and while my HPOP case was off and blue shop towels stuffed in HPOP case I pulled the heater hose return and old faithful spewed coolant all over. Dumb, I know.
Some went down in the front cover past the HPOP gear and I see a tiny bit in the small hole between the gear housing and the pre-filter resovoir. I plan on changing my oil after this. SHould i be good after that? I am being a little paranoid. She's my baby.

You will be fine after you change your oil. Also I would suggest going back to a stock thermostat as the high 203* has been found to hurt more then it helps.

What does the 203* thermostat hurt? They say that is what International designed the engine to run at that temp.

Where are you getting this info from?

If your lines aren't leaking then they are fine

Thanks rustbucket!

I would still like to know what problems the 203* thermo is causing. I have ran it for about 5k miles without any noticeable issues. No noticeable improvements either now that I think about it.
