nickr Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Getting ready to drop a Discovery 200tdi in my 90 using the Steve Parker downpipe. Can anyone recommend some form of heatshielding to place on the bulkhead? Also whilst talking about the the S.P. downpipe. I havent offered the egine up yet but measurements I've done suggest the down pipe is only going to be a couple of cm's max from the bulkhead. The S.P. kits supplies some nuts for fitting the downpipe and suggests shortening the studs- but from what I can see it still might be difficult to remove the downpipe once the engine is in. Hopefully I wont have to, but it struck me that removing the studs and using some bolts instead might make things a little easier - good / bad idea?

G4FUJ Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 A google search on "uk race car heat shield" will bring up a number of suppliers. Demon Tweaks certainly have the stuff you want, but are on the pricey side. I'm trying to remember the supplier a Mog owning pal uses - a lot cheaper, but the same stuff...

Ibex94 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Try Merlin Motorsport from memory they do a foil heat shield material by the sheet easy to bend, stand off pipe by 1/2" should do the trick. Only thing to cook on that side is the clutch slave cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcc1979ian Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 used bolts when i fitted my last 200tdi manifold, as you thought its nigh on imposible to get the manifold back off once the engines fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
