Hi,
I have two questions, one I will repeat and ask in the Garage. On a 2.0 liter, are the intake runners different from one side to another? The reason I ask is that I have 4 of them, and I need to choose two that I will clean up and paint...and damned if I see any difference... I dont have a motor to bolt them to at this moment, but I will if I hear that there is an angle diffference... Now for this forum. What paint color are the intake runners? Is it stock to paint the cast aluminum part, or just the tube? I have two that have paint on some of the cast aluminum part...just not all. It seems to be some sort of gray paint.. Please someone tell me a close equivelant color I can get locally. Rich |

QUOTE(tod914 @ Nov 13 2009, 06:52 PM)  Have to poke around and see if any of the vw bus places has nos ones too. Don't bother with NOS paints which have been sitting around for eons, as they breakdown, loose their fluidity, separate - as I'm sure Scotty, most painters,Pat (the chemist) & my Dad told me - the paints go bad over time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) You're best to do your earlier plan to get a good example of the proper OE color & finish, then match it to a fresh HT paint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I would think that you don't need to go to the lengths of 1400+ degree exhaust & case paints, but something around 500-900 degrees would be good IMHO. IIRC the CHT temps on Type IVs are 300-600 degrees? ....so those tubes with fuel/air mixture rushing through & cooling them down, should be a bit less hot. |
