Heater core hose

[lxhatch91]

Hi guys quick question,
I remove the metal tube they go to the heater core and i put rubber hose . My question is do you think the valve cover is too hot for the prestone hose because the hose touch the cover and the intake . Do you think the hose gonna melt ??

The hose won't melt. Not hot enough for that. If it laid on the exhaust headers that would be another story.

Ok cool and the hose touch one or too injector and a bit the fuel rail . The hose is not too hot for that ??? I dont want to put fire in the engine bay loll

I wouldn't be worried about the hose melting, the old "boil water in a paper cup" thing, what I would be worried about is vibration against the valve cover or intake wearing a hole in the hose. I would try to route the hose around the engine if possible.

The hose isn't hot enough to catch fire....coolant also doesn't burn.....

In many years I haven't seen a mustang rerouted heater hose get a hole rubbed in it on the intake. I'm sure if could happen...but...it would take many many miles.
