Rebuilding my motor, a few people have mentioned getting the
cast iron headers coated, and the downpipe
One story goes that you coat the headers and then they
crack, has anybody actually had a header crack or better
still got them coated and then they cracked ?
Another story is that its all smoke and mirrors and you are
doing it for looks.
Do any of you racing guys have an opinion ?
Swain Tech will ‘‘White Lightning’’ the inside and outside of
the 5.3L headers, downpipes, and then remove the liner from
my wallet. Sure sounds good.
I guess the question really is, does the operating temp drop
enough under the hood to make it worthwhile, or yes the
temperature would drop due to the mere existence of the
coating, but the effect is negligible
Am I wasting my money guys ?
