Heat wrap

[Pandemic]

I have a few questions. First, how much does heat wrap help, really? Is it worth doing? I'm trying to get more power out of a .65 liter engine. Yeah, .65.

Where can I buy it on the cheap? Does it matter how cheap it is? How does it work (sticky back, ie: tape?) How do you apply it?

I have a 3 cyl car so I think this would be a good way to get a bit more power.

Thanks

You mean header wrap? I have heard good things about it working. Paired with one or more methods of cooling the engine bay it could be one of the most important upgrades to a basic project car.

Heat, in excessive amounts, destroys engines and electrical circuits and wires and anything else not meant to be hot for too long.

And i believe you wet the wrap and then wrap it. then when it dries it hardens a little. they have a spray that helps keep even more heat in with it.

Do you clean the headers first?
This would be an ideal upgrade for this car I think. Not producing tons of heat but in a .65L engine, every upgrade helps

[nope]

is this a go-kart engine? i'm just curious =)
