Turbo, Exhaust manifold, and motor. Is there anything I can do for it, or does it really matter? Thanks for all you guys help. I love this truck.

 

my 95 is the same way, its not a show truck so it doesn't really matter how pretty it looks under the hood but i can already see the problems ill run into when i go to try to remove the manifold, turbo etc. for mods down the road..

 

its just from the heat but you can cure it, give me all the rusted parts and replace them with new and never drive it lol

 

sandblast it to bare metal and use high-heat paint? Youll want something good for that area though since it will go over 1500 easy enough. Mcmaster-carr has some 2500F paint but it aint cheap $_$

 

I painted an exaust manifold on a gas engine with high heat oven paint. I got it from a place that sells bbq pits and such and they use the paint on those. I am not sure how well it would hold up, but I am sure sand blasting to bear metal would be a must with anything of that nature.

 

I used rust cure (phosphoric acid, the stuff in Coke) on all the exaust parts that I wanted to keep in reasonable shape. It turns them black and gives a light coat on them to slow down rust. Won't work forever, nothing will, but it slows it way down and can be re applied any time you wish.

 

yeah thats a good idea also. Some of the stuff contains zinc which will turn the surface white, so be sure which type youre getting.
