misterp Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 IMO as long as you've got 3/8" clearance you're ok. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desrtrat Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 its cutting it close but can cut and re route the line with a hose i would bend it away for clearence like MR P said. if you are talking about rubber hose, then i WOULD NOT USE it. headers/heat and rubber hose = FIRE..

Krambo Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Anyone with the ASM headers will have a tight fit. I bent them as best I could and cable tied them to the point of maybe a 1/2 inch clearance. They still rub even at that clearance when the motor twists in my case.

Rausche Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I would wrap the lines in heat-tape just as a precaution... It might help extend the life of that metal, if the heat has been burning off the coating or warping the steel then I would imagine it'd be prone to rust & wear much easier... And I'm with Steve on the 3/8", should be fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to steal desrtrat's thunder here, but he is VERY right - during my demolition derby days the most violent car fires were ATF fires, lost both cars entirely. ATF is very, very violently flamable and I can only describe it like diesel, once you get an established fire you will not get it extiguished. Rubber hose on ATF lines is a NO-NO and if memory serves right I believe that it's not allowed on faster cars at the drag strip either. Mr. P.

misterp Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) Has anyone had this problem with Pacesetter Headers? Is this something I should watch out for? Yes when we installed Pacesetters on brobrad77's truck the ATF lines were rubbing the primary tubes; we massaged them by hand to make some clearance, I would recommend you check there and make a good 3/8" - 1/2" air gap. Sprayed99 also said that on his Joe Gibbs truck he had the same fitment issue, I'm taking this is a normal install issue with the Pacesetters, or any other header for that matter - no biggie, easy enough to correct.
