My friend helping me build my motor said that because it will probably see nitrous that we should paint the headgaskets. According to him, my felpro gasket set has teflon coated headgaskets and that nitrous doesn't like teflon very much. He said he has something similar to caliper paint that he uses on his 81 camaro because he sprays. Has anyone heard of this?

 

Dry FelPros are sufficient. Fel Pro will highly recomend that you not coat their head gaskets.

 

Painting the gaskets is a great way to get high and low spots in thegasket surface and a good way to blow out the gasket which is more trouble than it is worth. I used fel pro gaskets on all of my nitrous motors. None of them had a problem!!

 

Would the paint eat away the gasket or something? What would be the point of painting a gasket in the first place?

 

who knows, but dont do it.

 

Ok, thanks guys. I'll take your words on it. No paint for this guys headgaskets.

 

Unless you could paint perfectly even, like a machine, I am very skeptic.

 

No this really helps!!! You gotta use the interior paint though cause itll soak into the gasket and be smooth, then you can pull off your taillights and boil em for two hours to boil out the tint and you will have altezzas! DOnt forget to change the air in your tires form winter air to summer air after your done!!!

 

I think you forgot the most important part.... the high performance blinker fluid.

 

LT1Ownz...you seem to have forgotten some other procedures....

To prevent headlights burning out at high speed, change the halogen fluid with high performance H2SO4

Also...to make your car lighter, remove anything non essential. Since you will be pulling wheelies all day long, you won't need front tires anymore...just take them off

The coat your entire car in Teflon...it'll slide through the air better

 

Don't forget to change your radio fluid...

 

---And add two can's of compression!!!!

 

2 cans of compression... trying to remember the formula to that stuff...isn't it one part Smoke B Gone to every part CH3C6H2(NO2)3 (Trinitrotolune)?

 

B'lieve ya are on to something there.

 

I have used copper coat on my head gaskets before...never had an issue.
