What sort of temp does your exhaust manifold get yup to?

Don't know, but my set up is standards. I think, without research, that 250-300 Celsius is about norm. Those with tweeked pumps, larger intercoolers and fiddled turbos double that. I think 700c + gets you in to melting territory.

Arc-rite do a decent looking high temp matt black paint up to 600 degrees. Comes in a spray can so that will do nicely.

Have you had it shot blasted? I think the surface prep will be even more crucial that usual.

It's a new manifold. I was just going to rub it down

No rust?
You'll need to thoroughly de-grease it.

I'd go for the silver 800c paint. Because it's silver

Anyone recommend a good spring compressor for taking the valves out

I've borrowed one years, but finally cracked and bought one of these.

I thought you'd already done the valves?
Mines a Sykes picervent (spelling is miles out)
Works great.

Works for me.
Very similar to my sykes one that.

 

[payydg]

Not yet. Will get one of those. Thanks guys

They take a bit of adjusting so that they a) fit the head you're doing, and b) to get the range of the over centre cam right so that it compresses easily. (You'll see what I mean and work it out).

Does the lift pump have a gasket? I'm assuming it does but weird as there's no trace of one after removing it?

 

[payydg]

Scrap that. Yes it does.

On a separate note, is there a rebuild kit for the 200tdi vacuum pump?
