Ok, i figured it was going to be close, but its actually up against the header, (the braided line going from the master cyl into the bellhousing, my question is how could i keep it from boiling the fluid or whatever is going to happen to the line itself? nothing close enough that i could see to tie it to to keep it off of it, and im not 2 sure if some kind of rigged exhaust wrap would help it that much either , but i'm open to suggestions, not going to be driving the car until its fixed...

also off topic, after installing the (headers/ls6 intake/wires,plugs/!air!egr/!rear 02's) why would my knock sensors be throwing codes?

thanks alot,

michael

I have a heat shield that I run the clutch line behind. Mine's an 01, though...

You need to zip tie that clutch line to the body to keep it as far as possible from the header. I also put 3/8" fuel hose around the braided line and wrap it in heat shield tape.

I put mine behind a heat shield that was attached to the car in that area. I also put a heat shield sleeve over it.

As the toher have said there is a heat sheild for this purpose, its run under it from the factory. If that not an option then a heat sleev and keep it from touching the header. If it touches it will transfer the heat

where could i get some of that heat shield sleeve/tape? would advanced auto carry it?

Yes, they should have a few different options for you, it's not uncommon stuff. Ask them where it is when you walk in.

As for the knock sensors you may have not plugged them in or you are pinching the wires under the manifold.

I actually got my heat shield sleeve from advance auto. Get the 3/4 diameter so it will slip over the quick disconnect fitting. It will be a little tight going over it though.

thatll aleviate some of it. thats what i did. but you still have to change the clutch fluid pretty often.

michaelxx16

is there any kind of wrap i could use that doesnt involve me disconnecting the quick disconnect? i hate that thing... (dont have the correct tool for it) lol

and is there no complete way of keeping the heat off of it? so i dont have to change the fluid so often?

michaelxx16

and also, can i just tune out my knock sensors? or would that be ill-advised? the code is like a low circuit code

I've always used 2 small screwdrivers for 9 years and never have a problem, push them in at 6 and 9 o'clock, pull out the line.

+1 for screwdrivers, i hated that fitting at first too until i found out how easy it was to do, u just hav to push hard enough on the white clip and bam that sucka is out!

Do NOT tune out the sensors. If they both went out at the same time they should be fine. They dont normally crap out at the same time. Check the wires on them.

michaelxx16

is there any way to check the wires without taking the intake mani back off? (ik i sound lazy as hell )

Viper

iTrader: (6)

Nope.

michaelxx16

if the wires are pinched, i'll have to get new knock sensors? or splice new wires? or what

I used tin foil and wrapped my line. I did it when i did the drill mod so it was off the car but i dont see why you cant do it with it on.

michaelxx16

the only kind of wrap i could find was for spark plugs.. it is a heat shield sleeve looking thing tho, and it looks like it'll fit over the wire, think it'll work? and how often should i change my fluid? and does that mean just bleed it? or change all the fluid, i doubt i'll put 3k miles on it within 2 or 3 months,
