did you have any porblems with grounds afterwards?

 

Wouldn't that prevent them from breathing good? Making them run a little hotter?

 

my friend here has no luck what so ever.....had to take care fo my lil bros could come over ill get in touch tomarrow man think i have an idea for ya

 

the heat may warp the cylinders

 

what heat?

 

The heat from the layer of powdercoat on the engine... engines do get hot dude.

 

ok im just looking for an answer on my question.thanks for the concerna bout the heat but that is the least of my worries at the moment

 

That should be the biggest worry actually... whats the use of spending all the money on a motor, have it powdercoated, and then have it overheat... just money wasted...

To get the electrical grounds to work, just scrape away the powdercoat in the area you will have grounds going to... the lines will cover the little bits of powdercoat you flake off...

 

Are you talking about powder coating the block?

 

Ya, he wants to powdercoat the block...

 

I dont think that would be that great of an idea. Plus, why would you? Just get the valve cover powdercoated if you want some color under there. You can barely even see the block when everything is in there anyways. Plus, the heat issue as mentioned could be a problem. Not sure how much heat the paint would hold in, but why risk it.

 

Why would Powdercoating do anything bad? Are you serious?

V8 Guys have painted their blocks for decades.

Powercoating is the same thing, just more durable.

Powdercoating is a bit thicker and the reason it sticks so well is because its particles fit tighter, making it harder for air to come in and out between the particles... where as regular ol' paint is alot looser and prone to cracking and flaking... get what Im saying?

 

powdercoating was already done.maybe im not asking the write way

Nice setup bro... whens it going to be done?

 

you see ther in lies the problem.i have spark and fuel crnaks but nostart.im wondering if the tranny case causes too much resitance or something.i cannot figure out what is worng.also timing is dead on. the sad part is i still have to break in the motor for all the turbo crap i have sitting in my garage.

 

If your anywhere near Central Florida I would love to come by and help you out with the car... Like I said, scrape away all the powdercoat where you will be grounding...

 

yeah where the starter sits there is no paint already.still the problem continues.thanks for the help but im in nj.

 

what about the ground to the valve cover from the chasis...

 

i think its fine
