if anyone read my post you dont need to do any fancy valve cover work just move the imrc to the battery rack. its real simple and your engine will feel like its new again. no matter what you do as long as its on the valve cover the heat will get to it. just check the last pic on my cardomain pic and see how simple it is
I need more then that one shot. I am not exactly sure how that is attached.

I can't believe no one thinks keeping the coil pack cooler is beneficial

is heatsink really that big of an issue with the imrc? My first one lasted about 90K, until my brother accidently gave it the 3 foot drop while doing the 3.0L swap.

Excellent way to balance out F/R weight distribution.

I hook them up to the battery in the trunk and leave em' there, I am at best a lazy killer.

seems to me like all the heatsink would do is absorb heat from the engine bay. It's hot because the engine bay is hot. Nice try, but I doubt it does anything.

True but "technically" the engine it is attached to and the IMRC itself is hotter then the engine bay air.
I do agree the heat sink idea will not really work though since like you addressed the under hood air is hot as well.
That's why one of the first things I did was mount mine on rubber insulators. A little vibration and heat resistance.
Also removing the heat catcher is a MUST.
If I still had an IMRC (mine's been in pieces in a box for nearly a year  ) I would Nitrous that bad boy...
