Engine Temperature

toby7777Member

While I have my engine apart I was planning on powder coating some parts including the intake manifold. But before I do so, I am curious as to the temperature the top of the intake can reach during a typical drive. Has anyone shot the top of the engine with a pyrometer? If temps reach above 400 degrees powder coat is out.

Thanks,
Toby

I can't tell you what the temp is, but I know several people who have powder coated their intake manifolds with success, excepting for the use of clear, clear will change color. I don't know if any of these manifolds had an exhaust heat crossover in operation, does yours?

Jet hot coating also looks very good.
