Cooking headers or...

[Richard H.]

Cookin some Hookers*, hooker recommends not using these headers for breaking the engine in because of paint failure / discoloring. My brother owns a Kustom paint shop in Indy and I ask him if the reason for this was the paint not being cured enough. He said that would be his guess so as soon as the wife left for her shopping trip I stuck one in. The coating was a lot harder compared to the uncooked one after four hours. Sure makes the house stink though, but it is a good stink..
