Posted December 31, 20186 yr comment_564889 Hi guys im wondering if any of you know the function of the metal bracket that is held in by the oil pan bolts on the driver side? It has a metal heat shield or something that is attached on the bracket. Im currently trying to fit my header on but the heat shield is in the way. Is it okay to remove it? any use for it? thanks for any help Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61327-oil-pan-metal-bracket-heat-shield/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 17, 20195 yr comment_573502 Hi, had the same problem two weeks ago. I just removed it and installed the header. Drove the car for ~150miles and nothing exloded so i guess whatever it is doing is not that necessary for the survival of the car (i might be wrong here ).
