Protect your starter from exhaust and engine bay heat with this aluminum heat shield, designed to reduce heat soak and improve hot-start reliability. Built for full-size starter applications on Small Block and Big Block Chevy V8s (and compatible GM 90° V6 applications), the satin-finished aluminum shield mounts near the starter to deflect radiant heat from headers and exhaust components — especially valuable in tight engine bays or header-equipped builds where starter heat exposure is increased. COMPATIBLE WITHFull-size Chevrolet starters (Small Block Gen I and Big Block Gen II/V/VI applications). NOTES• Fitment is determined by starter style/size, not engine displacement — confirm you have a full-size (not mini/gear-reduction) starter before ordering.• Not compatible with mini starter designs, which use a different mounting profile and may not accept this shield.• Not compatible with LS/LT-based engines.
