Default Bernies Headers

Here's a couple of pics of your modified headers Bernie.

A word of warning to anyone considering working on ceramic coated headers. This stuff is a bugger to remove and a sh!t to weld through. The aluminium in the coating reacts with your weld pool for some interesting results.

I had to slit Bernies headers near the flanges so I could move the pipes into the right positions for the new 4 hole flanges. Welding the slits back up was a pain in the butt because it's very difficult to remove the coating from in the corners and crevaces. It worked out in the end, just a lot more work than I expected.

They go off to HPC tomorrow to get re-coated.




Cheers
