Hey, I recall reading that it was possible to bend a heat shield back to original shape and reuse 'em. Anybody done this?
If it counts for anythign I tried once.. I think the hydraulic press was a bit too much though.. Screwed them up big time..
a guy i know does this i used his stuff to do it on my old car, seemed to work fine. and hes done it on all his cars for years, i forget how it works but i remember there was a ball bearing involved.
IMO, rebending heat shields is kinda janky...just buy new ones for $4.
All good points.
Yeah I remember now about the ball bearing, I made an ugly tool that kinda pushed it back to original shape.
I get tired of wanting to pull my injectors out but not having new shields, I guess I should just stock up. Thanks
There's a few things that whenever I buy, I buy twice as many as I need... Heat shields are one, inner tubes for my bikes are another...
Both are cheap when you can plan ahead, but if you need them at 6:58 on Friday evening they're worth about 10x their actual value...
