I think you might have rewritten the book on getting more than 10lb of $hit in a 5lb liner there Rick!
I have a friend that makes custom turbo & manifold heat blankets that will squeeze down to 1/4" in tight places & they're so good you can hold your hand on them any time. Looks like you could use some protection there.

Thanks Sid do you have any contact info for your friend?
the 2 dzus tabs on the valve covers are for a stainless shield, I have a thin heat mat on the inside of the body that im not to happy with. maybe your friend has something to replace that.
I figure if I have to I can mist water on the body to keep it form burning.
I have several channels on the Racepak assigned to movable thermocouples so we can monitor items of interest.
