While I am doing the "ImportTuner67" Mod, I thought I might paint my header heatshield, since it looks like @$$ and its going to be sometime till I can get my headers. I picked up some silver engine paint when I got the stuff for the Valve Cover.

Anything I should be concerned with?

 

No comments? Not even a 'Should be Fine!'?

<edit>

Damn, I went out to take the SOB off, and I get the the stupid thing off... any suggestions? I removed the four bolts on the front... but still it won't budge. And what about that 'thing' that is coming out of the side of it... ? What is that? How do I get the shield off around that?

Damn, I didn't think it was going to be that hard.

 

i don't think it's worth it honestly

 

Well its something I'm gonna have to do eventually anyway... so I thought I might as well figure it out now....

 

Or you could just bag that whole shield and put a header in there... food for thought!

 

thats a sensor sticking out of it.

 

And how does one remove it, and is there any 'trick' to getting the damn shield off?

 

Um...Carfully? Sorry, can't help ya, haven't gotten that far yet.

 

pretty sure a deep socket for spark plugs should do the trick.,

 

But there is a wire running out... How do I get that off?
