Was laying under the car waiting for all the oil to drain when I noticed the hose that supplies the head with oil.
Is this normal/are they all like this?
This hose is EXTREMELY soft, and less than 1 inch from the #2 header. 

I'm not sure how comfortable I am leaving it as-is, fire is one of my larger fears. Going to swing by the store tomorrow and see if they have some heat tubing that can be slid over it.

My two SR3s are the same as yours.

 

As long as the headers and exhaust don't touch anything I don't worry about them.  If they touch a bolt or the rear ARB then I will loosen the exhaust manifold bolts and gently move the header(s) to a better location and tighten.  Once tightened they tend to stay in place.
