need clarification about lasagna heat shield

["Walter" <Whalt@xxxx>]

Is it possible that the heat shield warped so badly because it got wet? Are
these things susceptible to water damage?

How much mileage should one expect to get from an OEM heat shield before it
eventually wears out from normal use?

You all have given some great advice so far. Thanks. The new ceramic heat
shield sounds like a great product. I was wondering if a piece of sheet
metal would work as good, but I suppose not.
