Automotive orings and gaskets are suppose to handle 500 degrees minimum (so my powder guy says) he bakes auto gaskets frequently without problems. We got the pump to 400 and did a quick short bake. Hoping it will cure better from heat cycles later. I did take a slight risk doing it but it looked like a pile of chit.
Not sure on stall this stater change has 1 pass on it. I forgot to look at the tach on that pass.
What the poweder coat guy didnt tell you is when you go to unscrew any of the bolts on the pump that were tightened up. When you go to loosen the bolts, it's going to crack the powdercoat, and not just where the bolt heads/nuts are.
