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?

Woke up this morning with a thought regarding heat retention...
Been cleaning my split case halves for over a week now. Every time I think that they are clean (exterior) I am able to draw more grease/grime out and have to go at it again. Sort of like cleaning a dirty sponge, I honestly can't believe how porous these cases are. Doing the coating as you are makes so much sense! By sealing the case with the coating, you are effectively sealing the pores in the "Sponge" Now all of the areas where oil/grease would collect within the case faces are greatly reduced. Over time, build up will be greatly reduced and thus heat retention will be reduced as well. Thank you for this post as I am going to do the coating now as well! |

I have a bunch of air cure on my -6. Works well and super tough. |

QUOTE Why not just they’re clear? I have a bunch of air cure on my -6. Works well and super tough. You make a good point! The clear would achieve the grime/grit barrier but not the faster heat dissipation. Back in the 90's I had Jet Hot Coatings in AZ, ceramic coat in mat black, the exhaust for my 1946 Indian Chief (1200cc with a 40mm Mikuni) Made an amazing difference in kicking the heat away. |
