I'm down to my cylinder heads and am noticing the plastic piping that wraps all the wiring is pretty much crumbling to pieces. I would like to rewrap it just to make it neat and clean. I know the engine runs hot so I don't want to use regular electrical tape. Is there any tape product that anyone can recommend?

 

The tape you want to use is called friction tape. It is a fiber-mesh type tape that adheres to itself. I think I got my last roll at Lowe's. It should be located with the electrical tape. It probably runs $10 a roll if I remember correctly.

 

cool thank you

 

Or go to an auto parts store and buy some of the original wire harness plastic cover.

 

I will probably get and use both.

 

The hard plastic with the slit is convoluted loom. The standard black is rated at 200 degrees F. A high temp version, rated at 300 degrees F, is also available. It has a gray stripe running along the length.

 

If you want to take it up a notch, look at something like this:
