[Vwdiesel] Missing heat shield part

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

Interesting problem...pulled injectors which I put into a head 
I installed on a 91 NA, and found that injector #2 was missing 
the heatshield.  Well at least the central part of it.  The 
periphery of the heatshield was intact.

I can't see any heatsield floating around the precombustion chamber,
and dropping a pickup magnet in there doesn't get anything.  The 
glowplug appears to be unscathed.  


  I know that some of the MB heat shields are two piece that have an 
inside/center and the outer sealing ring portion.  I wonder if someone 
had one of those sitting around and used the outer part only???
