Default Dump tube and oil line contact.

when my dump tube was fabricated it was close to the oil return line, and now upon final installation it touches it slightly.. my dump tube is wrapped in exhaust wrap, and the oil line is rubber with reflective heat tape around it.... my question is will the heat from the dump tube melt my oil return line or will it be fine? if it will melt the rubber, can i just use a steel braided line instead?

actually u stated it was the dump....now u say down...either way, that **** gets seriously hot - it will prolly heat the oil at least.. not really a good thing. Is the oil line in an actual heat sleeve like from Earls? Post a pic. I'd be trying to move something
