I put $20 worth of POR 1300 degree stuff on my exhaust manifold -- lasted a
few months. Then used some of FT's Hi temp PC and looks like new after 9
months and ~4K miles. I just used that stuff on my rear drums. However,
am using the regular PC on the rotor (not the part that the pads touch).
The DOT 4 will boil at a little over 300 degrees when wet (after it's been
installed a year or so) and the PC is cured at over 400 degrees, so I'm not
worried about the heat.
