> [@LAFENGAS](#): > > I remember doing somebody’s cam gears… and i couldn’t get the oil out. I baked them and baked them to get the oil out and nothing works. So some pieces like that are lost causes. yeah those were mine, ended up having Jay paint them, and they came out good. Although powder coat is much better. Nice job on the brakes and such. ---

whats the difference between the PC that can handle 1200\* and the coatings they put on turbo manifolds? are they at all related, or are they different animials all together? :tup: to a nice write up ---

Most coatings like that are sprayed on as a plasma and are usually ceramic based. So, no they are not related at all. Kinda like a “jet hot” coating. ---
