Has anyone found a good way to protect the SVT oil cooler water lines with headers installed?
I wrapped my water lines with exhaust wrap but I don't like it as a permanent solution. I would love to come up with some kind of heat shield. Just curious if anyone has any good ideas.
 
I've used Aeroquip firesleeve for oil lines that run too close to exhaust components. Firesleeve is a glass fiber insulation with a Silicone rubber outer layer. It's very durable and still pliable after many years underhood near some rather hot stuff.
1" Firesleeve will fit over 5/8" ID heater hose, it's $1.29 an inch in that size.

Thermo-sleeve is a newer product, I haven't used it, but it might be worth a try.

Nice finds! Thank you. I don't know why I didn't search for something like that.
