Installing stainless work longtubes. Right now transmission lines in contact with headers going to try and massage them out of the way. Should I use some kind of wrap to keep radiant heat away just where they get close?

Going to wrap them at that spot no reason to run a transmission cooler and let headers raise the temp again.
