VO and Brian, in hindsight, I should have used the teflon wire, as it might have
given me a few more minutes of engine running time to land. I used the color
coded wiring supplied with the electronic engine controller, but on the repair,
I'm using Teflon in the key areas, plus firesleeve (split and then safety wired
closed) on some other areas. However, what the real problem was allowing an oil
cooler to be in a position that if it failed that the airflow would take it by
the hot exhaust. That is what not to do IMHO.

p.s. I heard Boeing surplus is not selling wire any longer because of the
liability for people using it in home builts.
