Default Rust on T3/T4...

Hey, what are you guys using and where to get it to coat your turbine housings? Wanna de-rust and coat mine before I put my LS rebuild back together.

Any kind of high temp paint should work...you could get it ceramic coated. I had mine coated by The Shodan when i bought it from him. It looks great and has held up so far

Actually it wont't ground unless its on the stud, the metal on the valve cover has a rubber gasket all around. the stud threads into the actual head itself. As they say, the devil is in the details.

thats funny, just last night i moved my boys ground from the stud to that spot thinking that it has more contact area, but now thinking about it i was wrong.

VC has a complete rubber seal so u would infact need the ground on the stud, maybe more than the one stud provided in stock situations would be a benifit.

thanks for pointing that out.and once again honda out smarts me.

I agree with Schister.

All coating we send out goes to Mac at SpeedTrapp Consulting (The Shodan).

The stuff is great and accomplishes what it needs to
