I don't know for certain...but since it is nylon I would say it would probably melt ~400�F...so, if it was too close to the headers you would probably have black goo. 67 Barracuda street car, 408, e85, 1.38 60', 6.44 @105.9 in the 1/8 mile, 10.19 @130.5 in the 1/4...so far....

I will let him answer the question about the material he used but I called Jegs and asked about their J&J performance model. He asked, are the headers coated, in my case no, how close to the header? In my car I have one tube on my Headmen headers that I had to do some clearancing with a 4 pound hammer with the Milidon oil pan I used. He said I would have to clearance it some more and use header wrap or it would melt. Looks like my options are different oil pan, relocate one tube, or remove oil pan and modify. Not required for me right now so it looks like a Winter Project. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Well I wasn't sure about it myself. So I also purchased som of this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/400439778196?item=400439778196&viewitem=&vxp=mtr To sew to the outside where it would be exposed to the most heat. The one pictured is used on a car with fenderwells. Heat is not an issue for him. Jim Last edited by rt66jim; 05/23/13 01:44 PM.

FWIW--I have a J&J diaper, the straps under the center exhaust ports started to show signs of melting, I wrapped them in the metallic tape that is used by HVAC contractors, solved the problem. 7716821-LebaronatTexasLODRS.jpg (32 downloads)

smokinwoody I Live Here S Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 12,339 somwhere	thanks Jim.. What does an engine diaper do? -When installed properly, an engine diaper (or lower engine containment device) will keep oil and debris from getting onto the track. How hard is it to install? -It�s very easy to install! Because we incorporated quick release buckles and 4 simple straps, they install simply and snugly around your engine. Why do I need an engine diaper? -First and foremost, safety. A DRE engine diaper is much cheaper than replacing a car. Having a DRE engine diaper also means less track downtime. And there are IHRA and NHRA requirements. What diaper are Sportsman required to run? -You are only required to run an NHRA accepted diaper, as per chart on NHRA Website. What is SFI 7.2? -NHRA has changed the rules. You do not need to run a SFI 7.2 diaper to any sportsman car.
