Some time ago I bought a used front engine harness but it turned out to be not much better then my original. The original wires looked good but the sleeve is cracked so I "patched" it. I considered self vulcanizing rubber tape but wondered how it would hold up to the environment so I used a gas and oil resistant heavy duty "vinyl" tape instead.
What are options for this harness and what have others done?

And yes, all the cam seals will be replaced too.

I'm getting ready to rebuild some of my harnesses and I found some stuff called Insultherm Tru-fit. It's high temp woven wire insulation and comes in many different sizes and lengths. Found it at wirecare.com (no affiliation). It's probably overkill, but it's so luxurious. And it's rated to 1,200 degrees iirc. I spent about $100 and I got enough (in different sizes) to do all four harnesses in engine bay.

I'd think it's going to work best not to cut it lengthwise, but would still do a good job if it were split and strategically taped with self vulcanizing tape and zip ties. I'll likely do a combination of both. Some of my connectors are good, others have to be replaced. I'm not sure if cutting off a good connector, for insulating purposes, is worth adding another connection/potential failure spot (solder or crimp).

something like this might work for the harness- velcro closure, no need to fish wires thru.
Looks like it comes in 12' rolls-

Can't stop!
Needed to be done and there's no better time than now!
Years ago my Supra had overheat issues. During a T-Belt change I removed 15 years worth of May Flies from the radiator. They filled a five gallon pail. Cooling issue solved!
Is this original or has it been replaced?
And what is this?
