Their comment, taken at face value, is not correct. Indeed, talk to
Stovebolt or Patrick's to get the real scoop. www.inliners.org may have
something on their web site as well. I have 1/2 heat applied to my manifold
with Fentons and live in a pretty moderate climate. You can make your own
plate from plate steel (or billet aluminum), and there are some nice CNC
ones out there.
