Towed. Ecu down south with programmer for ecu light and fans fault. 😤. Finally time to put the epoxy coat on the coffee table. With some glow in the dark pigment for the cracks.

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted August 26, 2021 I have found the issue with header wrap is it gets the manifold super hot changing the metals corrosion resistance, it's also a problem if a weld cracks, makes it quite hard to find the leak. Ceramic powder coating and some appropriate head shields are often more practical. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz 1060 Report post Posted August 26, 2021 Did the cert man want them wrapped? Or just any type of heat shielding? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd weld some mounting points and fit some shields later. Or maybe coat them. This is only to get the cert. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
