I wanted to make my Own Block off plates for the Lower manifold.I have some Aluminum(pretty thick stuff) that I had used and made a Rad Panel out of it.I have lots left over so I wanted to make BOP's..
Question:is it OK to Use aluminum for the Block off plates,and not steel?..I am going t o make gaskets also.
Thanks,STYX.

 

should be fine as long as its thick enough. the last car i bought had a couple aluminum block off plates.

 

Go nuts.

 

Whatever you do, don't use aluminum foil. I learned the hard way...

 

.nah..I only use that stuff to wrap my HASH......aluminum Foil...haha!
I guess a Saran wrap Windshield is also NO??..(just Fuggin with ya!!..).

.AARON!..how is your Car coming along?..

 

 

as long as it doesn't flex your good on a turbo. take some black stuff silicone and cover the whole backside with a paper thin layer and everything will be good. even those nice thick plates that cost $45 will bend if you pry them off lol black stuff rocks!
