<DIV><SPAN class=552175216-10022005>I did that on some race car parts, done by
Jet Hot. However those were steel headers. With the relatively low
melting temp of aluminum alloys, I'm not sure the car header technique would
work. Oil that dripped on my headers did bake on, just like on
our headers, and was NOT easy to remove. The coatings were as hard as
nails, and prevented rust, the main concern in my case.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=552175216-10022005>However, there are different coatings that
are put on automotive piston tops and heads to improve combustion, so there
are lower temp coatings available. How applicable those are to our
application, I don't know.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Those of you that don't want to handle some of the corrosive
chemicals one could use to clean 2 stroke headers and ally pipes, my
friend Gary showed me a nontoxic method that anyone can use. Why didn't I
think of that?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dip the header or pipe in warm water with some dishwashing liquid and
then take a Brillo or SOS (steel wool with soap) pad and scrub it. It
surprised me how quickly and easily it worked. In ten minutes I had both
the header and pipe cleaned, and the header especially was caked pretty
good with baked on oil. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I used the new Brillo with Oxy Action, but I think either will work
fine. $1 for 5 pads at the local WynnDixie. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then worked the typical polishing with Brasso metal cleaner, and
after about 20 minutes polish job, pipe and header look better than when
new.</DIV>
