Does anyone have a picture of an L98 passenger exhaust manifold with the heat shield installed? I stupidly took it apart figuring it was no big deal. Now the only way it seems to fit seems to also be wrong. I assume the spark plugs should be under the shield, not over it?

Sorry for a seemingly stupid question, but there's not a lot of room in there to experiment.

 

The heat shield goes above the plugs and below the manifold. It's held on by 2 little screws into the side of the block right below the head gasket. It's pretty much a no-brainer (which explains why I can understand it....), it only goes one way.

 

Hey, I said it was stupid. :-) On my '87 it mounts under the exhaust manifold studs. The only way it seems to fit has a piece that sheilds the A/C box which seems right, but it's under the plugs and blocks the knock sensor.
