Header heatwrap

Hey,

Given my current set up (have added a J's Radiator cooling plate since pic), do you think i should wrap my header to stop any heatsoak? Got to be a compelling reason as i really can't be arsed taking the header off...

More trouble than it's worth really. It's your intake manifold that causes heatsoak.

Intake manifold gasket will help 10x more over that. Pain in the *** to install but well worth it.

my kinda answer - i figure that now i'm sucking air in from down the front of the car, it shouldn't be too much of a drama - as regards the intake manifold - hmmmm, maybe one day.
