I think the idea is to just weld an additional heat sheld to the bathtub
gasket (the one that covers the lifter valley)... But I've heard of a good
alternative to this is that after you've made the mods to the intake, then
have the bottom of the intake sealed up with 1/4" plate Aluminum... it will
act as a heat sheild, and prevent the vacuum leak problem in the future.. as
well as further reducing the plenum volume.
