Headers And Starter Heat Has any here experienced any problems with your starters getting too hot to work properly? I wanna know If when I get headers if I should get a starter shield or wrap so that it didn't heat soke.
I don't think that it is a really bad problem on the LS1 like it is on the BBC and SBC engines. I have seen very few cases of it happening. For peace of mind you can always get the starter shield for a few bucks from a sponsor though.

I bought a brand new starter and a $20 heat shield and that seemed to do the trick. LS1 Tech Stories
