I think Kirk first made an issue of the problem, the hear from the rear exhaust manifold tends to bake n' burn the rear main wiring harness between the engine and the firewall. Solution seems to be, check the wires, repair and needed and protect them with some type of heat shield.
As we get more details on this problem this is a good place to post them. Any folks getting a cam weld or 100k should use the opportunity to check and protect these wires.
