Starter shield?? Hey all, I've just got a quick question. My starter is finally starting to give me problems. It starts one day, the next day it wont start for a week. So, I wanna put a new one in and was wondering if there is any company that makes a shield or anything for it to protect it from the heat of the headers. Or is there anyone out there that has made one before and could maybe give me some ideas on how to make one? I really appreciate it.

Lingenfelter starter heat shield The Lingenfelter starter heat shield isn't carbon fiber. It is two layers of stainless steel with a high temperature ceramic heat shield material in between.
Carbon fiber wouldn't make a very good heat shield since carbon fiber conducts heat fairly well and the epoxy resins used to bond the carbon fibers together don't hold up to very high temperatures.

I find it hard to believe that heat from the headers can affect the starter at all. Too much air flow while moving.
My starter is 11 years old, factory original. About 150,000 miles. About 100,000 miles with my 1 7/8" LT's on my 427ci.
Or are there some kind of wierd headers I don't know about that are right next to the starter for some strange reason?
