I had to wrap the headers on my BBC 71 Camaro so it would quit melting starters lol. It doesn't get driven very much though, so I'm not sure of the damage to the headers yet?

Wrapping the headers will cause molecular structure changes when they get very hot. Eventually the wrapping will be ONLY thing holding the piping together, should you pull it off you will have holes emerge in the piping due to aggressive corrosion.

Well the mini starter only lasted 3 months the first time and 1500 miles. Since I wrapped the headers, it's been on there over a year and I've put about 6000 miles on it. It definitely helps with the heat control.
