Exhaust questions: paste, wrap, needles (score: 1): Author: "James Carruthers" <j.carruthers@rave.ac.uk>; Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2003 13:30:20 -0000 (GMT); Hi everyone, Some exhuast queries before I fit my (Bell) stainless steel exhaust: 1) What does "assembly" paste do? Is it worth using? 2) I want to wrap the 4-2-1 manifold with exhaust wrap to improv; /html/spitfires/2003-03/msg00349.html (8,354 bytes)

They retain heat and moisture in the header and lead to premature deterioration of the header metal. I would never use them unless there was no alternative.

Since I live in what in classified as high desert I don't really care so much about moisture and rust anymore.

So it should be the good stuff. The alternative is ceramic coating - however I can't find a place near me that does this yet. I have read ab; /html/spitfires/2003-03/msg00354.html (10,558 bytes)

It provides an attractive finish, is an excellent heat barrier and purportedly increases the velocity of exhaust gases. It isn't all that; /html/spitfires/2003-03/msg00358.html (10,337 bytes)
