I am monitoring the list in the archives and not receiving the mail direct.
This is all I get for the document in the archives. I don't know why, but
Mike Drew's attachments work and so do Kirby's, but yours and most others
are just gibberish when I try to use the link or open them. Any ideas?
Anything I can do different?
Thanks
Barry

    How about ceramic coating the intake?<br>
    What about the heads?  Could a cylinder head be ceramic coated and
    then machined for all the stuff to go on?  Interesting idea?<br>

currently
          sanding and polishing up an aluminum intake manifold.   In
          short order, I will take it Jet Hot and have it coated with
          high polish aluminized ceramic coating.  Good news: it won't
          stain.  Easy to shine up.  More resistant to scratches and
          dings.    Bad news: Cost is $215  (full pro polishing is $600,
          locally) and final appearance depends on how smooth the metal
          finish is going into the coating process.  FWIW.</font></div>
