The heat sink is the metal case with 2 screws on the top attached to the
distributor. You should take the screws out and check that the case is
making good contact with the ignitor (inside) and make sure that there is
still heat grease, like a white paste. Then tighten the screws up
again. If it still plays up you will need to wrap the extractors in thermo
tape or use a heat shield. I wrapped my extractors with thermo tape which
cost me $50 for a 50' length at 1" wide. It looks like flat weave of
natural fibres and it is quite expensive. It definitely works though as
before I couldn't touch my dizzy after driving now I can place my hands on
the extractors after 5 mins of cool down.
