[6pack] Heat Shield

[N197TR4 at cs.com]

Stuff you guys already know, but sometimes worth repeating.......

Heat Shield will not necessarily cure an existing fuel handling problem, but 
will always improve the efficiencies of engine operations.

Heat & Altitude is always an enemy. And perhaps today's fuels contribute to 
the problem.

>From the fifties, it seems that Triumph was the only British marque that did 
not have a heat shield. I suspect a cost issue of tooling, materials, and 
labor.

Stainless Steel Heat shields get even better with an air gap (double wall). 
Cold Air Boxes raise the bar even further.
