      Just because it worked before doesn’t make it a good argument — a house also stands until the day it fails. For an NA engine, wrapping the exhaust manifold is really a no-go. There’s no meaningful benefit, but there’s a lot of potential risk. The wrap absorbs oil mist (and there is always some), it traps moisture and water, and even with a stainless manifold it’s not great — the material itself tends to crumble and degrade after one or two seasons. On top of that you get dust and debris spreading everywhere. And after all that: still no real gain. For turbo setups, wrapping sometimes makes sense on parts that sit very close to heat-sensitive components, but that’s a completely different case. What exactly does the wrap actually do in your cars? Sorry, but I’ve seen too many burned cars on track not to mention that this is a very realistic ignition point. If it offered any real performance benefit, at least there would be a trade-off — but it simply doesn’t.

      It’s a necessity for me it been replaced so it was in place before, I’ve had it on all my Westfields, it does the job it needs to. As far as oil leaks go well I’m a bit anal on any leaks, this engine has just been completely rebuilt with new everything. Any leak of any description would be addressed as soon as it’s found I can’t live without a clean engine bay.🤩
