Do engine bay wires need to be protected from heat?

I am installing a dynon and the EGT wires come protected with steel braid.

Do the CHT,  Oil temp and Oil press etc need to be protected in some way?  If so how?

All is tefzel wire.

Many thanks

Will

I have all my cables grouped and held by spiral wrap and routed away from the exhaust. Apart from that I have no other protection in place.

The only wiring problem I had in the engine bay was a worn through inner wire of an EGT probe which shorted to the outer braid.

William,

Like Alan I have grouped my wiring and run it in the coolest area possible (above the engine).  But, rather than spiral wrap, I have used cable ties to bundle it and tie it down.  So far, so good.
