I did not even think of that. Maybe the spacers are doing more than we think.

Not what I'm getting at though tom. Focus is the cool manifold, which was the first thing that OT hit with the IR which was confusing as the coolant was still up there. Makes sense now.

understandable. but like I said, I do not see this being a real gain in my eyes. i know OT is a fond supporter and he is for his beliefs but in my world, My engine that was painted black and was supposed to hold more heat than any other was the one that dynoed 191awhp.

In respect of the discussion regarding spacers, was/is the manifold coolant circuit operating or closed off?

I got to thinking years ago... "Radiators are painted black... there must be a reason".
So I started painting the engines black and noticed a slight resistance to detonation and them running slightly cooler. One of the "performance secrets" I usually keep to myself unless asked. Jim

I don't get you at all... We are all here to help other svx owners with their cars and you continually insert stupid, perverted remarks.

On turbo engines I have ceramic coated the inside and outside of the headers, heat coated tops of pistons and combustion chambers, and anti friction coated piston skirts. Guy I knew did it as a sideline and did it for me at cost.
Seemed to work well... for the month or so the car was together. It deadhooked and twisted the chassis, and i parted it out. Ohhhhhhhh the fun of being young, stupid and impulsive. Its much nicer to be older, stupid, and impulsive Jim

e=mc squared
for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. my timing is just a little better than yours, at least i'm not malicious. you should've thought about that with your first remarks to me. now it's open seasion.
