uim/coolant/tb qs
Ive got a question about my lines running through the uim. I was removing my uim/tb so I could mod and port it. During this removal as I started to remove the uim, snap, crackle, pop the vacuum lines seemed to explode as I was removing it. When I was taking it off one of the coolant lines broke and is now a few inches too short to fit back on. Will standard silicone hoses(I bought mine from autozone) typically used as vacuum line work as coolant lines or will they get too hot and melt??has anyone done this??? If it wont work I will go get some rubber hose and replace it. Thanks for any help people

I had to use a silicone hose in the same place for a little while last year until I could pick up the right hose.
