Replacement Header Gaskets - Is OEM OK?

[Carlwalski]

yeah now if hpc willl coat them for ya, def go that route, but be sure to ask them if there be any probs with them sealing

Roger that!


Ps: Do you sell those Viper Head chrome dipstick oil handle covers? (what a f-in mouthful!) There is only one place that I have found that sell them, The Viper Store but shit, they suck. I asked for shipping via eBay around 3 weeks ago now and no reply lol. I know they don't make them but I can't find out who the manufacturer maybe. Billet something I'm guessing.

the company tht I am having do all my billet stuff is letting me be the exlcusive viper dodge supplier, adn yessir, if not mistaken I can get the dipstick handles, actually looking into it, but I will have to see, I know at the moment they are really backed up from christmas, but I have to call them first of the week, and will double check, you wnat black I am sure

 

[Carlwalski]

Really? Awesome! Yes, please call them as soon as you can and get one ordered for me please. It will be Black but I would like to see how deep the Viper Fangs logo is. Because I'm going to look at sanding it down dead flat and smooth then engraving a Batman logo into it, instead. So color isn't really important and I get free powdercoating, but thanks anyhow. I will "cancel" my dealings with the Viper Store and get the dipstick cover from you so please let me know when you hear something.

Sorry Tony, I'm a little confused now, so are you talking handle covers or complete handles + the dipstick itself? :dontknow: All I am wanting is the handle covers as I posted eariler. If you do make them, do you sell them plain, is that what you mean by raw? If you can do the Bat logo perfect (I'm a perfectionist with OCD so it has to fill the circle all in and be 100% centered lol that is why I like to do things, that way it's my fault and my own eyes. But, if you feel comfortable doing it, cool! Below is what I have envisioned and would like for The Batram. Let me know if you can help, plus a price and ETA on availability when your supplier opens up.


The standard Viper Store handle covers

What I want or want to do........(no logo)

Final result, chrome Batram logo, black handle & surrounding

The HPC shop in New Zealand re-opens for 2010 on Monday, so I'll call and see if it can be done. I personally can't see any issues. They state on their website: "Can be applied to steel, stainless steel, cast iron & aluminium". The gaskets are multi layered steel so it shouldn't be an issue. HPC coating is temp rated to 2,400F+ as well so no worries in the heat department, especially as the headers are also coated. I'm guesstimating around $70-100 (US) to HiPerCoat Extreme the gaskets.



Tony - What see ya on my post above bud?





Cheers,
Carl
