And you have done the same. That is the nature of helping over over the internet. Based on the information available my conclusion is happened, as is famousbob's.
The questions you ask now rhetorically show that you are guessing. Welcome to the club. View attachment 1715309917 View attachment 1715309915
I for one did not shoot from the hip and provide reply without enough facts to help guide a fellow FABO member to correctly diagnose and conduct a safe, reliable, and cost efficient repair.
As for famousbob, I agree wholeheartedly with him as he did in Fact pose his response as a Hypothetical Statement by adding
"IF I was to guess"
Your reply was a statement "The liner was subject to heat exceeding its working range"
Given that statement I would have to ask you the following,
What is the operating range of the hose that is in question?
What is the temperature about 3" away from the header collector under the various conditions that the car is subject to.
logic would dictate that not having enough facts it would be hard to draw a definitive conclusion to the failure.
Yes I did ask questions to formulate a Factual Response.
As of this post have not seen any answers to my questions / concerns thus I have not stated hypothetically what I think happened to the hose.
