I'm sending my header out to get coated, I had thought about getting the fan housing done at the same time....it would be the semi-bright silver finish...any reason not to????

the case "might" not be a real bad thing to coat, but the cylinders are a big no-no for this type of coating...
ceramic based coatings will trap and hold the heat inside of the cylinders, causing them to get even hotter which would of course transmit to the pistons and the heads. it would be similar to putting a blanket over the cylinder the reason i like the Jet-Hot is that they don't just simply spray the coating on, thier method uses a slurry (cream-of-wheat with too much milk) to coat the outside and the inside of the part |

jet hot is a heat "captive" sort of thing..keeps the exhaust gas hot... and within the pipes...therefore flowing more quickly
The coating works in two directions... say if you have a cold air source for the fan inlet.... if the fan housing is coated.. the cooling air would be from a nice cool source and no influence would be felt from the hot engine bay.. these coatings do work... to what degree needs to be proven |

very good point Tim....I wonder if the coating would help the flow as well since it might be "smoother" than the cast aluminum????

QUOTE magnesium alloy really?? it seems pretty darn heavy to be magnesium.......it must be alloyed with mostly aluminum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

the fan housing is definitely magnesium alloy, it oxidizes so fast!
