Exhaust manifold surface?
Exhaust manifold surface?
Should I prep and paint exhaust manifold surface with prep and paint with 500 degree paint or go bare metal with the gasket?
Re: Exhaust manifold surface?
Oh and what about forma gasket? should that be used with the exhaust gaskets?
Re: Exhaust manifold surface?
I would paint, but high degree paint not necessary. Paint on the bottom where it bolts to head will burn off no matter what you use - the rest does not get that hot. I always use a sealant with the gaskets to fill in all the nooks and crannies - others may not. Just re-read your email. If your talking about painting the mating surface, I would not. Just bare metal.
