will adjust the valves, temp put on the flywheel, should double check end play. quite a few items to button up before i start installing the tin. dave, check your pm's. Ken's powdercoating did a great job. they put little rubber plugs in all the threaded openings. i don't have to run a tap to clean the threads. i took the stuff in last fri. it was done monday but i picked it up yest. quick turn around. about 1/2 the price of a large coating shop in tacoma.

randy, i buy it at Costco. Oil Eater is the brand name. it comes in a 1 gallon jug (about $7 iirc), including a spray bottle. not "fumy" like brake cleaner, as in you don't need to wear a respirator, nor will your garage blow up. spray it on let it work. you don't let it dry out. a little brush action and hose it off. repeat as ness. bio degradable. it works great for degreasing smaller items too. i delute it down, put it and the parts in a 5 gal bucket, let them soak. it also will pull old rattle can paint off too. which is a bonus in my book. but, it will dull the finnish on aluminum if you're not careful. cleans the hell out of it tho.

Ken's also does ceramic with thermal barrier properties, coatings. i'm considering having the intake runners done with that(like chrome finnish). my only concern is that the heat will be kept out, not sealed in.

Would you trust them to do a set of 6 headers? Cheaper than Jet maybe?

i took the items in for the Cerama-Chrome yest. how's that for turn around. the guy that does the actual coating has this rountine he's done i'm sure 1000 times. when the CC comes out of the oven it is this dull whiteish finnish, that rubs out pretty bright with fine steel wool. the runners are bright and the rest is the white. i start pacing. "i think there's a problem with my parts". "what do you mean?". " these are bright and those are white". "OHHH!!. you have to rub the parts down!". pretty funny, he had me going. you do you own rubbing out.
