[T3] "cool tin" - Do I need it or not?

[Martin Garramone <garram1@swbell.net>]

<x-flowed>I'm getting ready to put my stock 1600 DP engine back together.  I asked 
an my local VW boneyeard abut T3 "cool tin".  I was told that it was a 
one year only item and was not needed.  When I pulled the engine it had 
the small (relatively) flat deflectors below the cylinders that I've 
seen on T1 engines.  Is there really an advantage to using "cool tin"? 
It gets pretty hot down here in Texas.  I figure the engine can use all 
the help it can get.
