Maybe it's non-issue, but thought I'd mention it.  |
It wasn't just the skid plate... it was the 1800F EGT temps (sucking oil in the intake and detonating will seriously heat up those EGTs!) and the close proximity of the Gruppe-S headers to the timing belt covers and radiator fans. (My headers were coated, BTW)
