Re: Starter heatshield replacement ,How?



"John",
- On Winged1, I removed the tattered remains of the heat 
shield, and couldn't face the prospect of the same configuration going 
back in. There are a number of "thermal protection blankets" out 
there ... I chose ThermaCool. They make a little blanket that wraps 
around the starter, and is retained by a couple of band clamps. The 
procedure for installing these blankets is to partially remove the 
starter, wrap the blanket, and then reinstall the starter. Very 
simple, and it seems to work great. I know that you are interested in 
keeping your car "stock", but this may be a wise upgrade (IMHO).
