"Bzzt, wrong, you DO need new heat shields! Your engine may run fine at first, but eventually the increased heat will cause deposits on the injectors tips and more poor running."
Darn it all, is that true?

well, you say bend them back? implying they get bent after they are installed and torqued down? its a huge pita to have to pull the lines then remove the injectors all over again. And I wouldn't bother re-using them againg. Knowing what I know now.
I wish I had the correct heat shields in the first place. Can't say where I got the p/ns. But I'll be listing them FS sometime.
