I was burning up starter solenoids every 100 miles on my big block GM motorhome , this fixed that problem ! Easy to install , fits perfect .

Mr. Gasket is well known to make excellent products and I have used a variety of their products for over 20 years now. This product is designed to protect your starter from the heat of the exhaust and motor to prevent premature starter wear and help in starting your car faster and stronger. It is very easy to install and goes on quickly. Some applications might be very tight with not much room left but it should fit. This prevents you from having to replace your starter regularly. Performance minded products from a performance minded company!

I have a chevy small block V8 and a high torque starter…..the holes did not line up and was only able to put one screw at front of the car instead of both and had to bend the plate to make it work. I had a mild heat soak issue because of headers and could still start the car when warm but would almost drain the battery every time. Btw battery is a brand new optima red top….waiting to test it out and see if it worked for my particular application. Item is well made but my upgraded starter seems to be more of the problem bc of length and width.

Love it. Have a 1981 Chevy Corvette, starter would get too hot and cause car not to start until cooled down. Once Heat Shield was installed no more problem sloved.

Worked out well. Just had to add some shims.

DOES NOT FIT new/updated starter for 1995 Chevy Tahoe 5.7 (ie. ACDelco 337-1022 Professional Starter). The updated starter is smaller as it applies to this shield apparently due to advances in technology since 1995 (although starter gear to flywheel connection is obviously exactly the same as ORIGINAL starter). I foolishly assumed this shield would fit the UPDATED starters we are using now for this application. WOULD BE easy to install if it fit. For the UPDATED starter I recommend ‘starter heat wrap’ available here on Amazon.

Fits ok…but it really didnt do anything to stop the starter heat soak issue. Dont waste time and money buying one of these. Replace the starte instead with a hi torque mini gear reduction starter instead. I found a replacement starter for $85 and have never had heat soak issues ever again. This heat shield is a band -aid fix if anything

Item was the wrong size and did not fit correctly. Made for a different starter than described.

It’s working good so far. No Chevy slow crank after it’s warmed up.

This shield doesn’t fit … It is Not easily returnable either … You have to pay return shipping minus a 20% restocking fee …. Do not buy !!!!!!!
