I have not personally seen that but have seen plug wires get cooked on SBC. Heat shields are a good idea for that so if you are having a problem with V-C gaskets why not fashion some sheet metal deflectors? I don't recall having ever seen them for sale. My problem area is heat soaking the starter so it's getting an insulation wrap.
