That looks great! Did you do it yourself or have the parts sent out?
Is there any concern with powder coated parts being near too much heat? Isn't it essentially just plastic that is melted onto the surface? So wouldn't heat cause the plastic to start deforming or doing odd things even if the temperatures aren't quite hot enough to make it 'flow'?
Those look superb. Going to make the cam towers match?
I did similar stuff when putting my engine back together. I even did the lower bell housing. I skipped the oil pan as I thought the raw aluminum would shed heat better and figured there was a reason that Porsche finned it for increased surface area.
No issue with durability except on things that get really hot, like headers, where you need to use a ceramic type powder. My guy actually used what he uses on firearms for the headers.
Cam towers baking with all the GTS intakes at a local powdercoater. It's not plastic, it actually is paint, attracted to the electrically charged parts and baked on at 400f. Thanks! I too am impressed!
