[Vwdiesel] annealing and reusing heat shields

[James Hansen]

No, just iron.

Look at them from the side.  the center bit that seals against the injector
can be bumped back up so it seals against the injector again... sort of
preloading it.  Suitable drift, center punch, etc over a hole in the
workbench would do it. Don't enlarge the hole, just spring it toward the
injector a tad.

They're ceramic, right (memory..)?  Does annealing even apply to
ceramics??
