bbluebanshee Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 the jugs and head shouldnt get much hotter than the coolant, i would say no more than 300 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx44 Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 I ran a set of cylinders that were powdercoated blue all last race season without problems. They look just as good as when they were coated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioactive_Puppychow Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 im pretty sure you wanna keep the temp of your head around 170....for optimum performance. I could be wrong. I have a laser temp gun...if I get a chance I'll run my bike and shoot my jugs..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadfoot350 Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 aluminum is not that good over 220. It starts to warp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
