Dear Rob,

Thank you for your patience.

We have not tested our materials in engines.

We can only recommend testing to determine suitability for your needs.

Hi,
�
I have a 1975 GMC Motorhome that is powered by an Oldsmobile 455 Toronado engine. It has a cast iron intake manifold that has a
large crossover chamber under the carburetor that channels exhaust gases to warm the carb.
�
This heated crossover chamber is causing vapor lock problems with Ethanol fuels. Most owners fill the crossover with aluminum or
zinc; however, that entails finding a foundry to fill it.
�
I would like to try one of your products to fill the crossover chamber.
�
In conjunction with your ceramic materials I will install stainless steel block off plates between the heads and the intake manifold
to keep the ceramic material from being exposed directly to exhaust gases.
�
My main concern is that differences in the rate and amount of expansion between your ceramic material and the cast iron manifold
will cause problems.
�
Do you think any of your products will work in this application?
�
Please advise.
�
Thank you,
Rob Mueller�
