To what temperature is this rated? Is it suitable for an engine compartment near heat sources (such as exhaust manifolds)?

Hi. I don't believe this carries an actual temperature rating. Mine runs all around in the engine compartment and as close as about eight inches from the exhaust manifold but is not in contact with it of course. There has been no deformation or curling. If you require fiberglass-and-aluminum heat-shielding, make sure you get that instead of this. This is nylon.

I'm not sure the temperature, but it did help starting the engine with outside temperature in the teens and single digits (F).

I have used this product before, I suggest that it only be used (mostly) for your car's interior. I don't know what the temperature resistance is, however, this has a tendency to be dusty if used outside on paneling, body trim, etc. It really depends on your application. If you're applying this directly on any hot engine parts, near exhaust, and so forth, I highly advise against the idea because it will definitely distort and damage the material (also a fire hazard).

I can't tell you what the temp would be at any particular spot in the engine, but it will be significantly less than it would be if you had normal coolant that had boiled away. If your temp is 375, something is wrong and normal coolant will have boiled off. But by using Evans, your engine is unlikely to be damaged.

According to the most popular review, "The heater takes but 25 seconds to get up to it maximum operating temperature of 313 degrees F and the back side is roughly 90 degrees F on the silicon side." Most newer plastics can handle temperatures in that range, especially thicker ones designed to hold petroleum-based, 200 degree F engine oil. I would probably give it a shot, but it's up to your discretion. If you do choose to try it out, it would be a good idea to watch it for awhile and make sure it doesn't melt anything.

I live in Florida and the cars get hot. I haven't had any issues but it is an interesting question and I will have to look through the manual if there are any warnings about temperatures but I think these kind of machines are built to be used under extreme circumstances.

It's very safe at 350, which is the only temp I've used it at. Sorry if this doesn't help, you might try the manufacturer.

To be fair engine compartment may be warm, but it should be fine.like insulation. You can layer it. Best to let the sun warm it. I use it on my trunk lid for my speakers. ..use a thick millimeter

I don't have a great answer for you, however I installed this at my 3 season cabin and have been pretty happy with it. The only draw back that I have experienced so far is that the ecobee's lowest temp setting is (i believe) 45 degrees F. I wish I could lower it to 36-38 over the winter months.

Not recommended as the heat from under the hood of the engine will affect its performance. Also if it gets hot enough it will leak some sticky goo which will be impossible to get off without damaging your paint.

If the engine goes into Regeneration it will burn them off. It can get up to 1400° and can even blow fire out of the exhaust. I am +25 yr GM mechanic.

Hello Twigs: First, I would check the heat temperature rating on this product (side of can). I used all of mine so I no longer have the can in front of me. Next would be to measure the surface temp of your exhaust manifold. As I work part time for an "Orange Colored" box store, I can safely tell you that Rust-Oleum makes all different types of heat resistant paint. Punch in "high temp exhaust manifold spray paint" on your Amazon search box and see what comes up. The paint you are asking about, I used on my Weber Grill which can and has gotten up to 500 degrees F. This paint did not peel or flake. Good luck!

I would suggest removing it. The motor will run hotter not colder. A larger radiator is suggested also.

I run all N2 at about 15psi. Depends on your carb level. Temps are around 37.

And normal running temperature for my engine is about 210 degrees and hotter for the exhaust

I have the 12000 btu unit in a 700 sq ft cabin and it keeps up until the outside temp gets below 15 degrees and it still puts out a fair amount of heat down to 5. I would think it shouldn't have any trouble in the space you are putting it in but it might be wise to keep a back-up just in case.

Yes it can it will withstand temps up to I believe 1500 degrees but it depends as to how close you get to actual exhaust head. I think you should be fine using this on exhaust pipes with no problems but I do recommend at least two to three coats. Hope this helps good luck.
