I need to reroute my heater hoses so that they won't rub on the header and burn. I tried using some reflective heat sleeve material but it rubbed up against the number six primary and burned right through. Right now I have the heater core bypassed with a hose from the outlet on the water pump to the inlet side, so no heat. It's getting colder soon so I need to fix this so I have heat.

So post up some pics of LT1s with headers that still have the heater hose on.

Thanks guys.

shouldn't they be bolted down? wrap them in the reflective tape, and bolt them down.

Nah someone replaced them before so no hard lines, no heater hose bleeder t or amy of that. I'm gonna get a roll of hose and try to route it up over near the AC and back over the front.

find some thin metal pipe, run it by the header with rubber hose on either end... so that the header is only going to affect a short distance of metal pipe instead of rubber hose.

Aluminum would be best right?

get some brass pipe from home depot and use it along the part where the exhaust is making contact. real cheap and easy.

Think that would be fine, as long as no kinks of course

I was going to route the lower hose in back and under the battery and the upper hose over in front of the alternator. I know to make sure there's no kinks and to not hit the alt pulley.
