REFLECTOR: Lava Mat

[Stockman, Bill]

I tried similar products with the same results.   What did work finally, was I wrapped the exhaust with a protective heat wrap I ordered from an auto performance store.   Works great and dropped my oil temps about 20 degrees.   I can climb out now even in the summer without red lining temps right away.   I checked the exhaust at annual and no corrosion or damage from the wrap.

I tried that stuff.

1.) I put a big swath on the flat side of my oil pan right above  the exhaust cross-over pipe.  It fell off in about 5 hours of run time.

2.) I put some on the engine mount in a couple places where the exhaust headers were close.  It fell off in about 10 hours of run time.

I cleaned the areas with alcohol before applying.

YMMV

A friend of mine used this on his Turbo Arrow. I thought I would share. It has a weave like gold carbon fiber. Made from crashed lava rocks.
