Brake Line Question

How close is too close when it comes to brake lines and headers. My truck that I just bought has the brake lines with in and inch to inch and a half away from the header...will this hurt anything??

Re: Brake Line Question

The boiling point on your brake fluid may be high enough to withstand the heat but I would suggest a metal shield be installed to protect the line where it is close to the header.

Re: Brake Line Question

yeah an aluminum heat shield is good heat wrap tape even better to insul;ate and prevent boiling
