340 Intake Manifold Heat Shield

Finally...thanks to your hints I was able to remove also the bypass nipple.
Unfortunately I cut a little to deep and hurt the thread on the intake but with some sealing on the new nipple it will work.

Why remove the heat shield in the first place?

I thought a small part the of the manifold gasket fell under the shield so I wanted to be sure nothing is underneath that does not belong there.

Thanks everybody and merry christmas!
