Default High-Temp Epoxy safe for under-hood use?

Can anyone recommend a glue/epoxy that is safe to use under the hood? Looking for something that won't melt and won't break down with age. I'm in the middle of an engine rebuild and I want to re-sleeve my replacement DME wiring harness, but will need a glue of some sort to seal the sleeving. Here's a link to the sleeving I will be using:

Look into Gorilla Glue (SP?). I know it's strong, but I don't know abou it's thermal properties.

You could try something like this...I use this stuff on our commercial structures. Dries like a standard silicone material.
