My engine runs really hot. I just painted my heat shield and the paint is burning up. I used the 500* paint. The engine should not even reach really above 300*. Does anyone have this problem of the engine running so hot. I am thinking about going to get a performance radiator, and then an intercooler when i get my supercharger. Also an oil cooler. Does anyone have these products, if so please discuss the pros & cons for me. Specifically the performance radiator and where and how do I hook up an intercooler into my front vador.

Your engine overall may be 300 degrees, if you are talking about the exhaust heat shield, you will need at least the 1200 degree hi-heat header paint. and totally clean it 1st, preferably sandblast or beadblast, then degrease it with brakleen, the non-flammable kind, 3rd- use a propane torch to boil the rest of the oil film out of the metal. keep the torch moving slowly, heat it just enough so you see the oil film evaporate, then paint it while still warm, but not hot. I have found this method to work very well, the paint tends to stay on and still looks good years later. |
