bahh I thought about painting this block, but you cant see the block either once the motor is in the truck, only thing painted block is good for is finding leaks. :p

oh you found the leaks alright!! when we gonna meet up for those pistons. i want o start getting that lathe set up and then we gotta sit down and build a jig for keying cams and cranks once i get the pistons down!

So does anybody know if this stuff will hold up to up pipes, manifolds, and pedistals yet? I know Simon did his, but it hasnt ran yet, If not, what will?

It's supposed to be good to 2000+ degrees. It's probably the best stuff you can get in a can from your local hardware store, have a few buddies with Cummins that have had it on the manifold for awhile, no problems yet. $.02

Yea i seen that it said 2000 degrees, and that should hold up, but then someone on the first page said it wont hold up, i think im going to try it and see.

i just applied 1 coat primer and 3 coats of flat black to my BD manifold for the 01, i will report on it's performance.........cured it in 2 stages 45 minutes at 150.....then let set for a day....then again at 550 for 30min.....EGT at idle is like 400 or less so i don't think 3 stages is necessary..once on truck it's supposed to heat cycle at idle 2 times, i'm only going to do one cycle 15 minutes drive around town not pounding on it and then call it good.
