URGENT, NEED OPINION LAST MINUTE PROBLEM
I send for a new Derale hose kit at Summit. I asked at Summit for their opinion. But looks like Professor Overdrive has a lot of work. Some time ago, I bought this thermal shield for the intake. I used some of it and this was a yard left over.
The oil Derale hose that I recently removed were like rubber toast. I have to protect these hoses until I can order a set of Russell Braided Hose lines and AN Fitting. But I need my RAV4 to go to work.
I was thinking if I could cover the Derale hoses with this High Temp DEI shield. I'll hold it together with clamps and high temp tape. In your opinion, which would be the best way to cover them? Should I cover them loosely, or use metal clamps making the thermal heat shield contact with the hose? As you can see in the Toyota engine, the hose is covered entirely with the heat shield cover. Or, leave it loose around the hose?
Remember the filter is behind the hot header. The two hoses come out of the oil filter sandwich outlet. Even though the header has DEI wrap. I don't want to be going down the road and all of a sudden oil will spill all over the road because of an oil hose melt down.
