how critical is it to keep the heat shields on air cooled engines? every spring I take mine off the Subaru engine and evict at least two families of mice and other foreign matter, seriously contemplating leaving the heat shields off so mice/rodents have nowhere to build nests and hide, but concerned I would reduce the cooling of the engine by the flywheel, opinions? facts?
