I think you'll be fine if you bought quality ties.
I think 3M falls under this?

just use double zip ties then...also you can always go and get the metal hose clamps from autozone, the ones you use a screw driver to tighten and loosen..they are cheap and are metal so its not gonna break

Thanks for your reply, these are oil cooler lines that have NO oil going through them currently. Like I said, I took off the sandwich adapter (temporarily) I have them there, because it is about a 2 hour job, just to un-rout the lines and un-mount the cooler. It like having a hose that's not connecting to anything. Just laying loose.

I am just wondering, if the heat that is emitted from the engine, could eventually make the zip ties snap. There is no real weight on the zip ties, for the adapter is made of aluminum.

Once again, thanks for your input!
oh I didn't read too much of it

Dayum. At least cut them off so they look like sutures.
