I found 'Jet Hot's add in Hemmings Motor News and they have a web
site ... http://www.jet-hot.com ... so I snagged the following:
"Almost any part can be coated and the possibilities aren't just
limited to exaust pieces. Steel, stainless steel, cast iron and
aluminum can all easily be coated. Intake manifolds are very
popular and can even be done with a special thermal barrier
coating on the underside to help keep engine heat from getting
up into your carb. Suspension parts and accessories are also
frequently coated, and unlike the old porcelain you might think
of when you hear "ceramic", the JET-HOT coating is so flexible,
even springs can be treated with JET-HOT."
Hmmm .... intake manifolds ... hey, I bet a 'Jet-Hot' coated heat
sheild would be great!
In their Hemmings ad they also mention a 'Thermal Dissipation
Coating' ... "On oil pans JET HOT's TDC reduces oil temperatures
by increasing head exhange surface area."
Safety Fast! ... larry.g.unger@lmco.com
