Re: Jet Hot Manifolds
It would be a shame to damage an otherwise really nice set of jet-hot coated manifolds; I'd think you could get most of your money back on those on ebay or selling them here, and reinvest the money into another set of virgin manifolds that Jerry can then coat for you. Jet-Hot and other coatings are designed NOT to come off, so to get the coating completely off you may have to degrade the manifolds underneath.
Good luck! BCD.

Re: Jet Hot Manifolds
I talked to a guy last night who suggested roughing up the surface with light blast, and coating with Eastwood's manifold coating that you bake on. We're going to try it on the heat riser to see how it works.
I had tried the Eastwood stuff before deciding to Jet Hot, and it did not hold up. You're supposed to run the engine within 24 hours, but since it was still on a stand, I heated them in the oven at the highest setting. Of course, I left them in the oven to cool, and forgot about them. My wife reminded me, when she opened the oven door to stick something in!!

[/ QUOTE ] I have had good results using Eastwood in the past, I think it is very important to bake the stuff before installation. They will smoke alot so do not use the oven unless she is out of town for awhile, the self cleaning mode is awsome. Last time I did a set I used my outside gas grill, worked good and did not stink up the house. Mike A

Re: Jet Hot Manifolds
you can buy heat cast paint any where, I would not waste my time with that eastwood crap. the jet hot will keep the paint from burning off.

Re: Jet Hot Manifolds
It will be interesting to see how the paint over Jet Hot works; since the Jet Hot has sealed the pores, there's nothing for the paint to 'bite' into, and after a few hot/cold cycles the paint may peel off.
Or the Jet Hot may be the best cast iron primer ever. Please let us know how it turns out! BCD
