I love those cool (?) pics of engines running full bore.

Any thoughts on why the 1st 6-8" of the headers *aren't* glowing? Is the
head sapping off that much heat from the headers? And if so, would some
form of ceramic insulator between engine & header help keep exhaust heat
out of the engine block?

Look at where the light is in the photo. It looks like the light
source is masked off of the exhuast end of the engine, but not on the
area you are speaking of. It  is enough light to overcome the red
glow.
