I just bolted up the new thermal coated Heddman Elite headers , and i read this disclaimer they come with that they shouldn't be used on an engine that requires break in since there are higher temps during break in that can ruin the coating on the headers.. ( SAY WHAT????!) They reccomend using the stock cast manifolds until engine is broke in for an hour or so and then installing the headers ( YEA RIGHT!!!!!!) (Just what we want to do huh?, instal and remove and instal a set of headers..... DON"T THINK SO) They do tell you if you absolutely have to ( THE ANSWER IS YES!!!) run them with a break in..... to set up fans to keep them cool.
what do all of you think about this??? Is this another way to say i did it wrong when the coating fails????? Do engines realy run that much hotter upon break in? i don't follow the logic here.
