im getting some rb headers, they have some surface rust, so im going to have my friend sand blast them, then i was thinking of wraping them with the fiberglass header wrap. something like this . is it going to start rusting again if i just wrap them? and will that wrap work, or are rotarys to hot? also how much of it do i need?

thanks

scot

 

The wrap will hold up fine if its the temps you are worried about.



The headers will rust if they get moisture on them.

 

like I hva e stated before:



Header Wrap + Moisture + Salt + High Temps= Chloride Stress Cracking

 

Salt? Hes in Colorado Banz.

 

They dont use road salt in CO? New to me.





Get the header bead blasted, and do a very thin coat of high temp paint, just enough to cover it. It will be fine, I did the same with the one on my car.

 

my friend used high temp paint and it turned from red to black. it said good to 1200 degrees.....

 

You could always send them to Jet Hot... they have amazing stuff

 

A) I was thinking salt in air, such as coastal areas

B)Go to hell

 

how about ceramic coating?

 

To bad rotary egts are higher than that, I used a temp gun on mine after a dyno run it was still 1400 something degrees after 30 sec.
