With the advances in engine coating these days, I decided to take a gamble and invest in one of the leading companies dealing with engine coatings.

Tech Line Coatings | Automotive ( Hi-Performance ) Coatings

They sell everything you could possibly imagine, and a lot of stuff you couldn't, to coat all parts of your engine, brakes, exhaust, etc.

I applied some of the Thermal Dispersant coating to the intake manifold on the outside. We covered both the top and bottom to maximize the benefits.

TLTD THERMAL DISPERSANT

• Rapidly disperses heat away from a coated component.
• More evenly distributes heat over a coated surface.
• Aids in cooling heat sensitive parts.
• Excellent for intake manifolds, brake components, oil pans etc.
• Very good chemical and corrosion resistance.
• Black in color.
• Cosmetically appealing.
• Requires baking. Cures at 300f minimum. Must be oven baked

First impressions are that this is the best stuff I've used on an engine ever. With in 15 mins the manifold went from a scorching 300 deg, to a cooling 68 degree. Unbelievabe.

As many of you know these engines retain heat for what seems like hours and hours. I can see this being extremely effective during drag racing and everyday driving. Imagine not having to worry about heat soak between runs!

The SC cars can benefit from this as well by coating the SC and intercooler.

I'll be applying this caoting to the tops of the valve covers, oil pan, intake tubing and water pump housing.

I'll be using the oil shedding thermal barrier to the inside of the valve covers and inside of oil pan. I also picked up CBC2 for the cylinder head combustion chambers.

I'm very happy with the results so far and only expect them to get better from here.
