Manifold Coatings

[paccool]

I recieved my new ATS 3 piece manifold today. I want to have it coated before installing. What can I put on that will hold up or where can I send it to have it ceramic coated or ??????. Don't want it to burn off the first time I kick the EGT up.



Any suggestions?

I had mine done here in the Satin Black 2000 degree inside and out, plus the bolts. After ~40K it still looks the same. Good people to deal with.

VHT header paint lasts pretty well. A spray can costs about $8 at speed shops and Checker Auto Parts.

I have the ATS 3 piece also, keep an eye on those header bolts, mine keep backing out. So far every time they end up laying on the webbing tween the tubes.

Where can I get polydyn?

Might try Jet Hot - www.jet-hot.com I have used them on some other applications but not my Dodge yet. When I go to the ATS manifold I will have it done.

Update on the ATS 3 piece header problem, Reliance Truck & Auto retorqued all 12 bolts. This time the two top rear bolts worked back out. The rear most hole had been buggered up so badly that my Angola, In wrench, Dave's Diesel had to chase it out and use a longer bolt to get any grip at all. This time I had them cross-drill all the bolts and safety wire them. Couldn't get to the two bottom center bolts with safety wire, but so far they haven't been involved in the backing out issue. They also removed the header gasket and went metal to metal. They have had better luck with no gasket. If this doesn't work it's that $75 thick gasket in my future. Found that the head gasket is seeping coolant left front edge, not bad enough to deal with at this time. Will decide if the metal to metal is working when I land again and have the head gasket replaced. 13 trailers and I had to stop for water pump, ABS sensor, aFe filter totally plugged from soot due to header bolts backing out. The biggest problem of all was an injector line had vibrated through, was actually dumping my 1. 50 a gal fuel down the engine. More than half them trailers 13 trips back and fourth over Sandstone Mtn, running on 5. Wondered why them Furds were able to catch me and it started downshifting more than usual. Still no body or stacks. The Saga continues. . .
