The cure? Dont let your wires touch on any piece of the exhuast.

I have ceramic spark plug boots in mine.
I also have my wires in a heat resistant covering sleeve, and all my wires are held away from my exhuast.

I had a set of looms that bolted to the center of the valve cover bolts, this kept all the wires away from the exhuast and held them in place.
