Your mechanic says that or the header folks say that? And where did you get the headers btw?

That's what my mechanic says - and I got them from Marty at MSDS direct, but he's not responding to my mail.

I don't see what Marty can/should do. The headers are the same as they've been for who knows how long. If it hasn't been damaged in shipping, (which it probably hasn't), and if you dont like how the lines run close to the pipes, then find a way to reroute it. extend the rubber part, or make a metal part to pass by. I'm sure with a little bit of finess(sp?) everything will be fine.

Yes I am a Pirate, 200 years too late.
Maybe you could get a high temp hose/hose cover, split it open and wrap the hose in question in that so that it won't bump into the hot header? :shrug: Just an idea you may try.

Yep, that is the exact plan - we've no idea what to use though.

Relax, i'm not expecting a refund. I was expecting this to have been an issue before, and for him to be able to offer advice. Perhaps not though.

Honestly I'd just use a larger split piece of heater hose. On my turbo mazda where the coolant lines actually touch the turbo that is basically what came from the factory as a heat shield and almost 200,000 miles later the hoses underneath the sheath are still peachy.
