I've learned a great deal by reading the
archives in a short time. So far adding the
electric fan is in but undesided on the 180 thermostat
- doesn't seem add much.
Has anyone any experience with Exhaust Insulating
Wraps or "The Header Manifold Blanket"(see below)?
I understand there may be a rust issue but,
with the blanket the air may circulate more
to reduce or eliminate the issue.
I was thinking that this might reduce engine
compartment heat and increase exhaust scavenging.
It's about $80 for the V-6
>From the mfg.:
"The Header Manifold Blanket provides
excellent heat retention for exhaust
headers and manifolds. This flexible
heat shield simply clips into place on
the upper portion of the header. The
fabric side of the material should be
facing the heat source. The aluminized
side facing away, offering protection
from abrasion and harmful liquid spills.
The Header Manifold blanket is available
in two sizes."
