I have GT-40 P heads, and FMS Shorty P Headers (I guess they're P headers, they came w/ the car). Anyway, while the engine was out, I sanded the headers down to bare metal, cleaned them, painted them w/ 2 coats of POR 15, then used clear spray paint to clear them.
Got the engine back in and ready and started it up finally today. The engine started smoking almost immediately, but I thought nothing of it - figured it was oil etc burning off and looked down - MY HEADERS ARE BURNT TO A CRISP! After they cooled down, I picked at one of the bubbles w/ my finger and it flaked off and it looked like the POR 15 below might be ok, but I guess the clear is what burnt. This sucks!
I really don't want to buy new headers, so I might just keep them.
