I bought the ceramic coated headers. The Langdon instructions say if you're painting, warm up the headers to bake off moisture. Paint and then dry in an outdoor grill.
Sooooo, I need to cut off part of the intake (half of the part that goes around the studs in the head) to fit the headers. How did you cut yours off? Grinder? Dremel tool?
Thanks,
Mark
I used a grinder. I did the intake vs the headers because it's aluminum and easier to cut. I suppose you can use a saw as well.
I also ground the header around the temp sensor. Just a bit off the ear took care of that. Langdon recommends relocating it to the thermostat neck (there's a boss there already. Just needs to be drilled and tapped) but I haven't had any problems. The temp does occaisionally read 10-15 degrees high when I'm sitting but I've hit the t-stat housing with a temp gun and found that I'm at a steady 185 so I ignore any readings under 200.
Never had it go over 200.
