With all the parts baking discussion, I thought I'd mention a really
neat toy, err.... tool on sale right now.
Harbor Freight has an infrared thermometer on sale for just $40:

I just got one last week to use with baking powder & ceramic
coatings. It's only rated up to 500dF, but it has a 4 digit display
and appears to go much higher. Pointing directly at a glowing oven
element, it registered 1170dF! You can measure all sorts of
interesting stuff, like temps of you engine, manifold, exhaust, tires, etc.
Highly Recommended!
