I am wondering how electrical heat shrink tubing would hold up to oil and engine opertating temps. The reason I ask is that I am redoing the wiring on my buddies '77 ZK1000 stator. It is a wet type and I need to keep the individual coiled wires from contacting one another. Would the heatshrink tubing hold up? If not, what could I use?
Heat shrink tubing durability?

I've used heat shrink on a few stators with no problems."We are often so caught up in our destination that we forget to appreciate the journey." "Comment

Stager your lengths so as not to make one big clump of wires. You can then slide a bigger piece over all the individual wires that are soldered and shrink tubed."We are often so caught up in our destination that we forget to appreciate the journey." "Comment

I concur!
I accidentally got ahold of some of that marine-grade stuff, once. I made it just a bit too long and had a heck of a time cutting it back! It filled in between the wires very WELL!
s'neat stuff!

I don't know if it is marine grade, but clear stuff came out the ends once and looked pretty sealed.'81 XS1100 SH
