I am going to change my exhaust manifold gasket next weekend and am sick of the heat shield.
Is it needed to space-out the manifold or can I simply heat wrap it and run no shield?
Also one missing bolt on the far right.... would that cause a leak if all others are tight?
chur..
Is the Exhaust manifold heatshield necessary?
Replace the stud.
Use a gasket dressing on both sides.
And, if you are removing the heat shield, put a turbo bag on it. Or you may boil the brake n clutch fluid.

the one you're asking about is part of the gasket, and yes, keep as many heat shields as you can, and put the brake/clutch one back on!!!
