Your thoughts ?
Yeah, the plate will help with direct heat transfer just like phenolic spacer does for an aluminum intake manifold, but on the exhaust side radiated heat is an issue too and that will go straight into the aluminum housing around the poly which is where part of the issue will likely stem from. Look up what egts are from the N54.
