They put heat shields on to frustrate the piss out of us! ;-)
Engineers don't use common sense when building new cars, nor do they cater
to the backyard mechanic. They design everything so that it has to be taken
to the dealership for small things. If new vehicles were designed for the
backyard mechanic, there wouldn't be a need for service shops at a
dealership, which would mean less money for the dealer, and less money
going back to the manufacture.
