Mmmmm. Bacon. I love bacon.I wonder if the engine bay will smell like bacon when you fire it up???
I had all intentions of painting them and curing them today but other things happened. Looks like I'm not going to get to it till next weekend. I did think about that though. There's actually a little diffuser that goes over the top of the burner so I'm hoping not. We shall see. Other than curing them on the car, or taking them to a powder coater oven, this is my only option.Like it was made for it!!
Did that burner at the bottom heat the lower section too much?
They'll get cured on the car eventually, right? LOL. This is to just get the paint cured a little better before they go on.That should work fine. You can also paint them, Install them carefully using gloves so as not to touch them and then let the heat of the engine cure them during a run in of at least 20 minutes.
just an idea....I had all intentions of painting them and curing them today but other things happened. Looks like I'm not going to get to it till next weekend. I did think about that though.

Really? Hmmmm. Think that'll work curing them in the smoker? Thanks for the tip!A lot of racers I know use ATF as a curing agent...yeah it stinks when you first fire up the engine but it works pretty good. Wipe on burn off.
Well that's too recommendations for some sort of oil curing in between heat cycles. Y'all really got me thinking.Just a tip that works for us is use john Deer high temp muffler paint. Also wipe it down with WD-40 after every heat cycle ( least 3 or four heat cycles) before you put hard runs through them...
And a damn fine idea it is. Kind of want to use stuff I have around the shop already, you know how that is.just an idea....

Mine usually oil cure when I'm running the engine with the valve cover off and I'm adjusting the rockers on my Chebby???Well that's too recommendations for some sort of oil curing in between heat cycles. Y'all really got me thinking.
LOL, I remember the first time I saw one of my buddies do that. Good grief what a mess. Thanks for the memory.Mine usually oil cure when I'm running the engine with the valve cover off and I'm adjusting the rockers on my Chebby???
