Yeah heat reflective gold tape.

A company called DEI do a really good one but its like 60-120pound for a 5m roll,

I manage to get eBay special for a fraction of that but time will tell on how it lasts

So today we got the engine back in the subframe and then in the car but came across a fair few thing I had over looked, such as

The near side inner Cv boot would not fit due to a brace on the sub frame being in the way so had to make a cut out for the cv joint...

The oil cooler spigots are soo close to the subframe tower so need to have another play tomorrow

Other than that I'm going to carry on building it back up tomorrow planning to have it motd in about 2weeks then a journey up to sc for mapping etc if it's still working lol..
