[Tigers] Oil filter question

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Tom,
I think you will get some bad reports on the header wrap.  Someone had  the 
experience of oil leaking and soaking into the  wrapped headers  and 
catching fire.  There was no way to put the fire out. Of course many  have used it 
without problems.

Thank  you for the  replies.

I failed to mention that I  purchased  (some time ago) the CAT headers.

I intend to wrap them with  exhaust  wrap to reduce under hood heat levels. 
 
I had the CAT  headers "Metallized"  (sprayed with a coating of molten 
aluminum,  while heated)  I have had  metallized exhaust before and it 
holds up  
very well, so it should eliminate a  rust problem.

I have my  engine in my shop  and the car in a hangar, stored for winter.  
I  
couldn't visualize the  frame location at all. Thanks to Tom  (atwittsend) 
I 
see the filter is well below  the frame rail

I  will bring my headers over to the  shop and get a better picture of what 
 
I am dealing with.

1) What do you guys think of the  header  heat wrap idea?

2) If I have to go with the remote  cooler, would  it be feasible to move 
the filter to the wheel well??  I will   need new hoses anyway.
Tom  Milton
