I like VHT aluminum header paint for the heat shield - the stuff really "lasts". I had both my header and heat shield sandblasted before painting with many light coats - 2 years / several thousand mi

Hi-temp matte black is great for air-cooled engines, radiators, and oil-coolers. It helps them radiate heat. However, since the heat shield is supposed to protect the carbs from exhaust heat, it seem

Heat Shield color debate Hi all, I just went out and looked at my '62 Sprite and the heat shield is the same green as the block/valve cover. That's the way it came from the factory. Biff according is
