I spoke to them about their product earlier this week but they where quite non committal due to the size and length of the Patrol branches compared to the short little 4 cylinders they normally supply for.tour de frans wrote:Turbo toys 011894 eight o eight o

Re: Manifold Wrap
I don't know if the flammable fluid dripping onto the wrapping will get saturated and still reach its flash point.... I think as long as there can be NO liquid touching the exhaust, all should be good.Alex Roux wrote: One of the causes of fire is dry grass collecting on the pipe, also flammable heated fluid (such as break fluid when hot) dropping on the hot exhaust or manifold.
So to minimise these risks, covering the pipe may be just what is needed.
As for the grass, yes I think this will definitely resolve something like that.
If I recall correctly I paid R 200 or R 250 for 15m of the tape ( +/- 60mm wide)

Re: Manifold Wrap
I have been trying to tell the PRADO owners -- only reason why the PRADO catches fire is that exozt crossing over to th eright side [on the V6 models] -- That is the reason i am looking for the 2-inch asbestos tape

Re: Manifold Wrap
Gentlemen, a cautionary note:
I once wrapped an exhaust manifold in this stuff. The manifold had seen several years of use, but was in good shape at the time.
Within two months after wrapping, the manifolds cracked apart completely.
I also found no difference in performance, fuel consumption or underbonnet temps in that particular car.
Because the tape holds the heat inside, the metal gets a lot hotter and as a result the manifolds expand and contract much more. I would not recommend doing this to a used manifold.

Re: Manifold Wrap
The company we buy from is auto solutions just google the no my friend that pays for it says it goes for about R60 per 10m roll...the banded strap and 2mm wire works well but the alu paint stops it from falling apart
I think that is the same stuff on that one in grahams garrage
I have heard of branches burning of on the welding due to excessive heat but those were on racing cars with turbo chargers

This is something that has been worrying me. Do you suggest ceramic coating rather? It's more expensive than a new manifold though.Peter Connan wrote:Gentlemen, a cautionary note:

Re: Manifold Wrap
I have no experience with ceramic coating, but suspect it could cause the same issues. I think David's idea of fitting the heat shield is the best if the manifold is old and you don't want to replace it.Mini Patrol wrote:This is something that has been worrying me.
