    I've read that some headers require that the proportioning valve be relocated for clearance purposes. I'm in the process of redoing the entire brake system and want to address this now as I'll be running new brake lines this week. Should it be moved further back to clear headers and avoid risk of boiling the fluid?

    Thanks Steve. It does help. I wasn't sure if I needed to move it or not. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
