Header coatings

[Greg West]

For those of you that had headers coated by NitroPlate, what is the proper breakin procedure? I had a set coated by NitroPlate some time ago and I am just getting ready to use them. Also,is there a product I should use to wipe them down with before starting the engine?

Thank you.

We didn't have a break in procedure because our coatings (Nitroplate) were completely cured before they were shipped to the customer. One thing you need to be sure of though, is that you are jetted (tuned) pretty close at intitial start up. You can use any kind of aluminum polish to clean them also.
