RESTORING MANIFOLDS

The general condition of the intake and exhaust manifolds is very good.  I have decided to bead blast both manifolds.  Pictured to the left is the cast iron exhaust manifold.



















It's appearance following a few minutes in the blaster...






















And after the application of 2000 degree exhaust header paint it is ready to be installed...much later.






















Now for the intake.  It is made of aluminum and is in excellent condition.





















After being bead blasted, it is ready to be thoroughly cleaned.  A light coat of the same paint was applied to prevent corrosion.  This atmosphere reacts adversely with aluminum.



















Later...
