Is necessary put wrap header? Because i readed that when you put header this generates more heat and this can damage parts of the engine.

It's not necessary , I have had mine in for about 3 months and everything's all good, it's just a was of money for the wrap unless you got crazy power being output

No just clean it good after you put it on or your fingerprints and grease marks will stain the metal. Never had any heat problems.

It isn't necessary but it can really help alot so it is recommended especially if you have a short ram intake or If you have some serious power under your hood

Daniel: If you have a 4x5 foot piece of plywood set it up on some saw bucks and a couple of stools and you will have a nice plat form for the tracks and also comfort while having hours of race time. Also I have one of those things with 2 fans in it for my lap top computer and after each race it works great for cooling down the motors. If you do this you will keep from over heating them. Have fun

i suppose it is a typo "thermally" protected probably means if motor gets too hot it will "cut-off" rather than burn up from over current. never had this problem yet so I am not positive that is what they mean but many motors have thermal cutoff. for fire safety and UL rating etc. If motors over heat and cutoff they probably have a problem and need to be replaced anyway if it happens more than once or twice.

RH is wrong. NEVER put ANYTHING on top of an amp. The heat will cook the internal components.

Only if you plan to overclock, or use high end equipment does the type of thermal paste or "goop" make a difference. Both move heat, and the higher end stuff does it slightly better. But you don't need to put a high end muffler on a Toyota Corolla.

This is used with a gasket. Put a nice coating on the stat housing and the head.. This is good..will seal the tiny little nooks you might get a seepage. make sure both surfaces are clean and smooth..no old sealer or gasket left.Works very well, properly tighten down the housing..snug all bolts to make sure everything is seated..then tighten to proper specs.

I disagree on the high-temperature comment. I use this for valve cover gaskets on a large (1200cc) air cooled motorcycle engine. The material is thick enough and soft enough that it pretty well stops oil seep, even though I'm using full synthetic light weight oil. Unlike some other materials (cork, for instance), I don't worry about bits breaking off and getting into the engine.The wrapper that comes with it says it's for sealing oil, water, or gasoline.I especially like it because with aluminum, there's a lot less torque for clamping down, and the soft thick material compensates for irregularities pretty well.

Don't use it,clogged up my cooling system and ruined a new radiator just fix it the right way please save yourself some trouble

I'd consult with the manufacturer. I sprayed my exhaust pipe first then applied the wrap, then sprayed the wrap!
2102990
Yes and the wrap is easy to install I used a heat gun to put it on my 98 Dodge do not get it real hot but you can add a little heat and it will stretch to much heat and it will rip.I put it on my bug shield gas cap and tail light cover

You will need a place to exhaust the air that is used to cool the compressor. Oh, and this is IMPORTANT!!!!! When I got the unit set up and running in the bedroom I found that the unit was fighting itself on cooling because the exhaust hose used to cool the compressor etc. was hotter than heck. I talked to the Sylvane people and they said that was normal. What???? So, I have an AC working at the top and a room heater working in the back thru the exhaust hose, pretty much greatly reducing the cooling efficiency. I ended up buying a roll of 1/4 inch thick air cell insulation with the silver mylar face, front and back, and using ac/heating duct aluminum duct tape and wrapping strips around the exhaust hose triple thickness until I couldn't feel any difference between room temperature and the surface of the hose. I would think they would provide an insulated exhaust hose.

Yes, it is necessary to use thermal compound for proper heat conduction to the heatsink, otherwise, the contact area would not be high enough. It's cheap.

Well.....if you read my review you might want to take extra care when wiring it and make sure you have the the proper inline fuse......Also make sure that you use a real weather sealant on any connection that is exposed ( which are a few ). I also coated my wires with the same sealant. Just to top it off I also put the wires in a flexible split tubing to keep heat, moisture etc....out. I have a Harley that vibrates like a Chinese massage table. So far no problems, but you never know. As far as it coming loose I used loctite.

not sure I use only on header plus heat tape as far as I know it's not recommended for use with cat or mufflers but I maybe wrong check with manufacture. Good luck

No, we were told that it should be fine by our heating and cooling installer. However, if it is a a lit of the fins, it can affect air flow. I would check with your installer to be safe.

Mine has never done that before you shouldn't have a problem with that. Just make sure its installed 100% properly do not take any short cuts it could cause problems with your headers.

You need to check your owner's manual....mine specifically said in it to use that coolant....hope this helps.
