Review: Good quality - Good quality with 2 ties. Fitted with out taking starter motor off. Hopefully should make a difference.
Review: Works great on my truck a 1997 GMC c1500 5.7l 350. I’ve always had an issue where when I went to start my truck it would hesitate like the starter was weak but the starter when it was cold started up right away first crank. After putting this heat shielding on, my problem has completely gone away even after sitting in the truck with the a/c on for awhile and turning it off and right back on there no more hesitation to start back up. Also, the metal zip ties can be tighten with pliers and cut with wire cutters.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this have direct contact with the header? Had to dent the header to get the mini starter in but now need to protect it.**
A: It can have direct contact, but depending on the temperature that the header gets to may cause the material to deteriorate quicker.  The aluminized layer can peel if exposed to over 700 degrees Fahrenheit direct heat. I would highly suggest double layering (if possible) it if it will be making direct contact.

**Q: Does the starter have to be removed?**
A: I'd guess it depends on the car.  I didn't have to remove it for my 63 chevy truck with a small block 350.

**Q: what are the dimensions in inches?**
A: I don't know the dimensions, but I installed mine on a full size starter on a 350 Cu In Chevy truck motor.

**Q: does it come with the metal tie straps ?**
A: Yes but recommend buying metal zip ties
