OK here's a curious question. How warm do our OEM header heat shields get? I'm talking about the black one that keeps heat away from the batt & fuse, A/C lines.

Could one feel safe guessing the continuous operating temp exposed to it would be <450 F since there is an air gap insulating from the OEM header \ silver heat shield?

Cosmo has crazy ideas and finally getting to work on them

Thank ye fellers!

 

I would say that temp is reached. I drove the S home yesterday from Indy (left at 6AM and arrived here in PC at 9:20pm) with only a 20 min stop for lunch and 4 fuel stops in 1200+ miles.

I check the oil every other fill up and man did I get a blast of hot air when I opened the hood. It was damm hot yesterday.

She ran like a top! I changed the oil before I left and 2454 miles later I still show full on the dipstick.

Everytime I dirve the S I fall in love all over again.

 

Me too Barry. And it gives me GREAT joy when I hear about a person as good as you having good times. You deserve it and I envy it but not in a hideous fashion.

Glad you are back home safe and sound...thought about you alot. (OK...no homo stuffs...but hey we has luvs between the group here)

 

Cosmo, I am renewing for next year (Duh!) and you are welcome to atke my 2 extra, hell give me a month to foget how zapped I am right now form the drive yesterday and we can make it a 2 car caravan or we could just fly. Right now I would fly.

 

Why? What are you planning?

 

my money is on:





Manifold destiny!!!

engine oven FTW!!!!

 

Foil wrapped Krystal burgers are held pipping hot behind the shield.

 

Can I get that w/bacon?

 

Indy if this job thing holds together you can bet on it.

 

Barry I want to go next year too!!!! If I save now I can afford to do it with some style...
