fairladyz432 Posted December 31, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 31, 2018 Hi guys im wondering if any of you know the function of the metal bracket that is held in by the oil pan bolts on the driver side? It has a metal heat shield or something that is attached on the bracket. Im currently trying to fit my header on but the heat shield is in the way. Is it okay to remove it? any use for it? thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted December 31, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) You could possibly bend it up, flatten it a bit, it is keeping the oil pan gasket from getting too hot and burning but then I've seen many cars where that flange has rusted away without any problems.

fairladyz432 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted December 31, 2018 Yeah looks like I’m gonna try to keep it there but will probably see how I can clear the shield from the header . Thx for tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted January 1, 2019 Share #4 Posted January 1, 2019 Mine worked with MSA's 6 to one ceramic header but I did have to trim some off the transmission's extra bulk so it wouldn't touch and rattle. Not a big deal but I'm going by my header, no idea what you have. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
