Thread: Help!! Header ate timing light...

Tweet

I have ceramic coated headers, and my plastic timing light vibrated off and fell on the hot header and became one with the header. I got the bulk off, fingernail takes off alot of it. Is there other ways to get this off without destroying the coating ??

I would try using a heat gun to soften the plastic so you could remove it with a fingernail or plastic scraper. The other thing you may be able to do is to place the header in the deep freeze and see if you can chip it off.

Sanderson said to clean my ceramic coated headers with paint thinner, and said could be polished with fine steel wool. I would get an exacto knife and carefully pick all I could off, start and let headers get hot and try a little fine steel wool on em. If you can pick most of it off the headers should burn off residue and then you can clean and polish with super fine steel wool.

Dry Ice might bust it loose.
