If there is a failure at those temps then I would lower the temps to 300 degrees max and re-test. Shouldn't need more than a "cushion" of 50 degrees. I shot my temp gun last weekend of 90 degree weather and the covers were 205 degrees.

300ºF should be 'Lots'.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 
I would not expect these emblems to see more than 225º F even in the higher temp climates.

I would suspect that you are correct - however, there should be some "fudge" factor built in to the max temp range.

Not a lot of air movement under the hood of these things...I could realisticlly see more than 225ºF quite easily, under the right or more correctly 'Wrong' conditions.

The circle looks thicker. All else looks great.

LGAFF 07-03-2009 01:52 PM

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 
6 test versions are coming to me, they offered to make the cirlce thinner....I will see how the current version works....also we will get stared on 91-95 version.

carter200 07-03-2009 02:00 PM

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 
When you get the 91-95's done I'll take 5 sets instead of my original order, thanks :cheers:

I can tell you the version you have will not fit great, which is one reason why I stopped selling the repops. The casting changed and the emblems would not lay flat.

Make sure the bend is right as well.

Thats why I an test fitting them. I guess I won't shoot then down until I have one in my hand.

Also using and adhesive gel instead of backing will allow for some variance. I doubt that there was not varience in the OEMS.

LGAFF 07-03-2009 02:41 PM

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
 
Also, to be clear, if they are not acceptable, I will not sell them. I
do not need the money, I am paid very very well for my regular job and I would have to sell alot to recoup my current expenses, and then, trust me, the profit on these is marginal at the price I listed.

I am just trying to get a decent product on the market at a good price.

In Arizona 225F is very easy to hit when the car is idling in traffic on the roadway. 300F would be safe

Pete,

Isn't nothing better from a weight perspective? Could cost a few 10,000ths WITH the emblems on.
