Do you suggest I use use a pick axe and make 'speed holes' Homer Simpson style?
Or just let the fire burn through?
Seriously, the problem was an oil leak. The solution is fix the leak. Cool air would have just created a blast furnace.

Yeah fair enough....seemed to have omitted the fact of the oil leak in my head. My bad for the dumbness.

They say things come in 3's so you should be OK now:
1. Scooter crash
2. Blown engine
3. Fire.

Okay, I really need to make this point.
It was an oil fire due to an oil leak.
There is no such thing as an off the shelf oil shield for a Honda S2000.
Whether I use my shield (which is fine BTW) or some heat wrap, or a combination of the two is not yet decided.

Woo hoo, in one week I manage to pull it down, correct the problem and get it back together again.
Took it out last night and blew an intercooler coupling off. LOL
