Header wraps

[tom jaffeux]

Who is wrapping their header? What are your results with the heat in the engine bay ?

Works well for cutting the heat
Wrapping is pretty painful, but I was doing it when it was in the upper 80s.

I put a v8 into a car that overheated the open cockpit with the original 4 cylinder. The car came with no insulation and rubber mats on the floor. Wrapping the ram horn looking manifolds, I found water soaked header wrap lightly stretched went on nicely. Being an artist, I clamped with concrete tie wire. I got the idea from watching Insulators wrapping in oil refineries.

I works till the wrap is heat soaked - then it doesn't. If you think its an insulation, touch it and give us an update !!
