Recognize this heat shield? (Page 1/3)

1085 GT 4speed. I removed the engine a while ago and I forgot where this heat shield goes. Can anyone help?

Thanks

I'm sure that much is already known to the OP. It came out of the engine bay, and the part number is plainly visibly stamped on the shield. The question is where does it belong installed in the engine bay.

I'm not 100% sure, since I haven't looked at an engine bay with the original heat shields installed in some time, but I think this one is installed along the trunk wall.

HaD to laugh..same thing happened to me when I did my exhaust manifold gasket replacement. It does go against the trunk wall facing the engine, but FIRST you have to attach the cooling tubes. This shield goes on top. I had a hard time getting it back in, the screws are not that easy to get at or reattach. Just be patient, you'll get it back in.

Great. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it

I believe that it goes on the left side of the engine compartment.....I looked up the part number in images on google.....A diagram shows all the Fiero engine compartment heat shields; Lousy diagram, but it appears to go on the driver side.

Whoops! I lied....They showed a image of the subframe in the background so I assumed that was the orientation of the heat shields....WRONG! It does appear to go against the trunk wall...But it's different from mine- but my 85 SE V6 doesn't have A/C.

It does mount on the trunk wall, and I think it was only used on the automatics. I believe the dipstick tube passes through the large hole in the plate. Neither of my 85GT 4-speeds had that shield.

I call this the pain in the rear shield.

I ordered my 1985 SE with the V6 and WS6 suspension, second level radio, and Nothing else. It only weighs 2580.....Well, it did until I started modifying it! I was originally going to get the second level trim, but although one Fiero option list I had showed that you could get the V6 in the lower trim level car, when I started looking into it, it turned out that you had to take the SE trim to get the V6- Still, I ordered it thru a car broker and paid $300 over dealer cost- at the time the Fiero was a hot comodity, so I did fairly well.
