I am now confident that we've given any readers of this thread ample testimony regarding our respective views on this issue, arguably one of the most crucial decisions facing any car or truck owner today. (Not!
)
If I ever come across a definitive article entitled "Thermal Conductivity of Road Crap and Its Effect On Spark Plug Heat Shield Efficiency", I'll be sure to forward it to you.
I applaud your civility throughout, and offer my sincere wishes that your spark plug boots always be as cool as The Fonz, if not cooler.
Best Regards, John D

And I would greatly appreciate a copy of the study, should you happen across one...... I would not be at all surprised to find it had already been done, and paid for with our tax dollars......Whats really funny? When I changed my plugs, I didn't remove the heat shields.
Left them fellers in there, as I was in a bit of a hurry, and didn't want to fight with 'em. (it was cold out.....)

Congratulations fellers, spoken like true gentlemen!
No name calling or derogatory remarks toward one another.
Who'd thunk that was possible?

Took advice.. got the two shields off on the back drivers side with a little tapping side to side and they came off, blew out the crap changed the plugs , tapped the shield back in and put the wires back on
5/10 min..Went to pass side back two ,spray, let sit tap tap tap TAP TAP
.TAP They won't budge after 30 mins of F'ing with them Think I bent the crap out of them ,,,They don't move and I have 6 more to go AAAAAARRRGGG!

i removed my tubes and run shorty headers with no problem. 1 wire did lean against the header so i purchased some dei boot covers! those are a really nice little contraption!
never worry about my msd wire melting, getting TOO HOT, cracking...etc
ha
and the complement my headers nicely
