I am thinking about painting the case, valve covers and heads with a thermal dispersion coating to get rid of some heat more efficiently . Has anyone tried this before?

Looks good but I’m not sold on the value. I’m guessing it’s incremental compared to a properly placed oil cooler with a fan pack.

Value= 40.00 bucks for a cool paint job that look good and will last better than engine paint at about the same cost...
Bonus= possible reduction of 10 to 50 degrees (so I read on web articles ) So I am in for either.... I think Ham Heads have a thermal coating on the outside of the heads too as well as ceramic coatings in the chambers...so there must be benefits other then looks Thanks for the support and feedback...external cooler is next if temps creep..but for now...cheep and EZ and I think looks pretty good too -Cheers Looks good but I’m not sold on the value. I’m guessing it’s incremental compared to a properly placed oil cooler with a fan pack. |
