Cool Thanks for sharing. I have some heavy-ish galvi sheet metal that I will try to use to make some of these. For what its worth it looks more like a gumpa (grease luge oil fuel and etc.) shield for the fasteners than a heat shield 'fer the rubbah......

sorry I don't have time to post a picture but those shields are smaller than mine. I'll try to put a tape on them. Rob, if you go to the trouble to make some, I would make them big. You shield them well from heat and fuel spills and you'll "never" need to replace them.

um, it's 58.00 per shield to protect a 4000.00 part.
the motor mounts failing could easily cause the oil cooler line to be cut, not to mention the a/c lines. and or other items that could lead to catastrophic engine failure. John

Only if you are a complete git and let them degrade that far.
I forgot to put them on when I was replacing my mounts. Oops.

One of the first things replaced on my SD last year when got it. I opted not to put the shields in because of the cost and the fact the old ones lasted 24 yrs. The previous owner kept awesome records of everything done to this car so I know they were original. I regulary clean my engine compartment so I don't believe it will be a issue because if anything were to drip on the them it would be cleaned off right away.

The link to the photo of the Heat Shied is broken. Does anyone have a photo or better diagram on how it looks? I don't have any and am replacing the mounts this weekend. I'd like to see what I have lying around that I could make work.

Engine Mount Heat Shields Unfortunately these pics are also hosted on photobucket as in the broken link you mentioned. So they'll probably disappear at some point time. .

I had the stock shield for the drivers side. Not seeing one on the passenger side I took a piece of Aluminum flashing for the other mount. So far it has deflected SOME of the oil from the mount. In retrospect I should have taked an oil based paint (preferably bright orange) and painted the rubber themselves. I've seen painted rubber last decades longer than bare rubber.
