6700 Dodge Viper Heat Shields For 1992-1999 Roadster

RIGHT SIDE: 1. Remove top of heater blower box from lower heater box assembly in engine compartment.
2. Remove the bolts from the coolant reservoir so it can be moved around.
3. Disconnect spark plug wires from spark plugs and move out of the way.
4. Loosen the 2nd and 4th upper header flange bolts for mounting bracket installation.
5. Install one mounting bracket on each of the two header flange bolts loosened in Step 4. Position the brackets so that the slot on the end is straight down under the bolt and bracket is flat on top. These brackets will angle forward and down slightly when installed properly. NOTE: Before attempting to install the heat shield onto the brackets, first measure the distance between the threaded holes in the mounting brackets. You should have 9 1/8” from center to center of holes. If you don’t, you can bend the brackets with a pair of pliers or a small hammer. Doing this will make heat shield installation much easier.
6. Install the right side heat shield by angling the front edge of the heat shield down toward the front half of the header and slipping it forward between the header and the coolant reservoir and hose. Once it is down on top of the brackets, slide it toward the rear of the car, align holes and install supplied bolts and lock washers. NOTE: We recommend you use a small amount of high heat silicone R.T.V. on the top surface of the mounting bracket to help to keep the shield from rattling against the mounting brackets.
7. After you have tightened the heat shield to the mounting brackets, tap on the shield to see if you have rattles. To eliminate rattles, you can: (1) adjust the shield at the mounting points “slotted holes”, (2) bend the heat shield as needed for clearance, (3) bend mounting brackets slightly for a better fit on your vehicle.
8. Re-install plug wires onto spark plug. NOTE: Spark plug boots, wires and hose should not contact the sharp edges of the heat shield as they can be damaged.
9. Re-install bolts for coolant reservoir bottle. Use plastic ties and hose holder provided in kit as needed to hold coolant hose away from sharp edges of heat shield.
10. Re-install top half of heater blower box.
LEFT SIDE: 1. Disconnect spark plug wires from spark plugs and move out of the way.
