guys i did replace my ignition leads with 8.8 m TOPGUN ..... is it alright if i covered all ignition leads from head to toe with a 10 mm plastic tubes??????????????? to protect them from heat.

thanks...

you talking about the ribbed tubing with the split down the side? yes that is fine to do

[lufkin]

why did they need extra protection from heat?

[rocket0000]

yes mate they do coz the shit Holden design is meant to let the 3 driver side wires to be under the alternator. on my car my old leads are covered with a big plastic tube for these 3 wires under alternator so i decided to separate each with a 10 mm plastic tubes bought from super-cheap for the driver side and the passenger side now they look great.. lol.. so now they wont touch any heated areas at all. coz once it touched a heated spot you'll see a white powder shit on the wire which means its burned out.

make sure you use the heat shield from the old leads if you still have them

[rocket0000]

yeah mate i did install my old ones with the news wires as well. i swear to god i remember once i left 1 without a heat shield just for testing and after 550 km its was baked.

lol i guess im lucky then, i got rid of the black plastic, and havnt used the little metal tube shaped heat shields, for over 125,000 kms now
