Isuzu Trooper power steering pump was the bolt for me - 15 years since I owned the thing and I still have nightmares about it. ONLY 2 bolts holding it so if one sheared is slackened and you lost power steering. And it sheared every 6 months leaving the end of the stud in the head every time...

The aluminum shield is a good idea, but it has to avoid contact with the hose. It should block radiation and dissipate it in the air. Look at every heat shield in the history of cars... always away from the hot part and away from the cold ones as well

A lot of great suggestions here. One option that may be easier than some of the suggestions, certainly cheaper, and perhaps relatively permanent is to locate a hydraulic shop. Ask for fire resistant hydraulic hose that you can retro fit. Parker makes an excellent one. That stuff is commonly used for the final drives on dozers working on wild fires. I use it on my machines that are exposed to welding sparks. It is likely pretty easy to source in your area and is virtually impossible to burn through. Frankly, any hydraulic hose will be better as that fluid tends to run much much hotter than motor oil. Good luck.

Im sure a third of the comments are some variation on this but I have fixed a similar problem. There are two products that would work for you, both you would attach to the exhaust and not the hose. 1 - Thermal/Exhaust Wrap, a kind of fabric about 1/4" thick and two inches wide you can wrap around the exhaust. The duct tape of the exhaust world. Typically comes in a box with clips/ties 2 - Generic heat shield (metal foam sandwich, this is what car manufactures use. If its not in stock you could get it from a junk yard. I personally would avoid wrapping anything on the oil hose as it will transfer more heat to the hose if it contacts something.

There as so many solutions to this problem (lots of them in the comments below), but the easiest (especially since you are replacing the tube) is to slide heat shielding fabric that a lot of TIG welders cover their fingers on their torch hand with onto the tube and secure in place with a couple hose clamps. I hope when they put the new engine in, they put in a permanent fix. Another entertaining and well done video!
