Manifold Makeover - EZ-Slide Coating Approach

[Spike Strip]

So for anyone who has had some run time on the EZ-Slide or Slip Plate coated manifolds, how has it held up ?

 

[Skeet]

It does not hold up at all. Coating is completely gone in less than a year.

Haven't checked recently since I finished my build, but the FJ60's been parked all winter, until a few weeks ago. So it's probably too early to tell.

I'll have to check tonight, but mine I think is holding up just fine.

I rebuilt my manifold assy about 10 years ago now, and at the time I used POR15 Manifold paint on the Exhaust. I had to remove the assy recently, so I thought I would recoat it, but am looking at alternatives... I do live in So. Cal and the mileage is low, and there is small sections of rust peeking out, but the POR15 did hold up surprisingly well for this amt of time.

However, I understand it's very easy to touch up the Graphite spray by just respraying the areas that need it.

From the research I did the EZ-Slide coating, because it's basically graphite, forms a bond with the iron molecules in the cast iron. Time will tell how it holds up in actual driving conditions.

John, hope all is well. I stumbled across this thread looking for a coating for my 12ht manifold. Any updates on how this held up on your rig?

I’ll check and report back when I get back home. I’m in Nevada visiting my ‘84 FJ60 .

 

[PabloCruise]

yeah, it looks better than my oil cure...

How is your oil cure holding up?

bacon grease would have smelled better!!! The slick plate coating is probably nicer, but the oil cure did ok
