No concerns of chipping or flaking like a powder coat could?

No sir, we reached out to Cerakote’s technical department to confirm. This is basically the same stuff they coat piston tops and combustion chambers with.

Good to know thanks!

I'm actually planning to use their products on quite a few undercarriage parts on my car.

192. There may be a few more left in there as the tune is pretty safe. That’s obviously for a reason and will be the tune that is supplied with the ECU kit.

Im interested to see what a good set of cams does.

Someone had asked a while back for pics of my radiator mount. I had the rad out a few days ago and took some pics. I did this a long time ago because I was having cooling problems on track with my LS swap. The LS sat so far forward that there wasn’t much room for air to exit the fan shroud, especially with my thicker Wizard Cooling rad. So his mounting setup tilts the rad forward quite a bit. It has the unforeseen side benefit of leaving more room for a larger intercooler, since the stock sheet metal cross brace is gone. Also, coincidentally, a larger and less expensive Griffin radiator fits well and can slide in from the top or out the bottom with the radiator mods I made (shown in a previous post).

However, it is extremely labor intensive for us and in the end we decided to outsource the coating of the lower sumps to a local zinc plating company.

With all that being said, we have 4 lower sumps that are black cerakoted (pictures below). We did 5 but I took one of them. Would any of you prefer black cerakote before we pay to have them blasted and zinc plated?

I can powder coat mine . you can just send mine in raw finish . That would save you a little time and trouble . Sorry it took a while to respond ,,, I`ve been ignoring the internet all weekend .

Well, we have some unfortunate news. As of tomorrow, all non essential Ohio businesses and travel will be shut down until April 6th. With that being said, we will obviously be unable to get much if any work done in during that time, meaning deliveries are going to slip into April. I am sorry for that, as we have been doing everything in our power to adhere to the goal of shipping everything (minus bellhousings) in March. Please stay safe everyone, these are unprecedented times.

Im not surprised either, Maine is doing something similar (The university I go to closed its doors and everything is online now).
Unfortunate and disappointing, but this is for the best. No worries Mike, on the plus side viewers now have NO excuse to not watch your YT content!!!
