It affects some, and others slide by without any problems. I think it depends on the engine and the tune of that engine. Higher performance engines tend to create more heat in the engine compartment.

I got all my heat shield material and Wilwood brake fluid from Summit Racing. They have the sleeves, and sheets of adhesive backed reflective tape and insulating tape. I have my new m/c sitting on my bench waiting to see if my heat shields and high temp fluid have solved my problem. Will know for sure tomorrrow. Supposed to be a hot day here in So. Cal so I'll go get stuck in traffic and see what happens. I do know that if I leave the radiator fans on while stuck, the problems disappear.

Good luck with yours. Solve it now, while the temps are relatively low in Texas or summers will be hell.
