Note: Before I got an oil cooler, after doing some light pulls I would get to oil temps of upwards 240+ degrees Fahrenheit. It wouldn't take me any more than 3 minutes driving to get to 185 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tagging @Kodename47 so he sees this too. What do you guys recommend? I was thinking of wrapping my OP + FP in header wrap, but I am hesitant that my OP / FP could crack.

Please let me know what you think

its unlikely its due to heat from headers many people run caltess header no shield, it more likely due exhaust hitting on chassis or shid plate
