fuel line for coolant lines?
Is it a bad Idea to use fuel line as coolant line? The lines I speak of are the lines that run through the TB/thermo wax.Also how much low end do you lose by wiring open the 5th and 6th ports? My ports refuse to seal to the LIM so they leak are and drop out half the time under hevy load....buckety buck buck goes the rotary.Do you have to adjust the idle to compensate for the extra air running throught the open ports at idle? My car is not a drag car nore can I afford another speeding ticket,So I don't care abought spinning my tires at low rpm,or hauling *** down the freeway.I just want the car to accel smoooothly.

I've had mine wired open for a couple months now, no adjustments were nessicary for my car... but it has no options or air pump, either. I've only noticed a slight loss in low end "get-up and go."
I'm only doing it temporarily, as my exhaust is too free flowing to open the ports, and I'm going turbo in the near future. No use building a new actuation system if it's going to be ripped out in a couple months.

What about my coolant lines? anybody? The old lines were original equipment and were ready to blow out.The only thing I had to replace them with was fuel line...Will the fuel line burst from the heat of the coolant?

No. The fuel line is rated for higher pressures and heat, just cut one in half and look at how they are built. With that said, just make sure you don't kink them.
