Hang the modified heat shield assembly in position, (with the gasket toward the manifold) using the stud on the water pipe to support the heat shield. The four bolt holes in the heat shield should line up with the four holes in the manifold. Replace the nut on the stud on the water pipe loosely- we just want to keep the heat shield assembly in 20.1 position. 59.
