Embee Performance Coatings ... you'll have to call on pricing, I had it done with a bunch of parts ... I don't remember what the cost breakdown was, I think like $350 for all of the pump parts ... included bead blasting and all ... excellent work!

How High was the Temp used for Powder Coating? ... Temp and Cast Al Don't Mix ... Al doesn't temper, it Fatigues.

do they know better than to blast through the hard anodizing- reportedly that is another killer of the pumps...Anyone thinking of using embee I will second their fine work. They did my oil pan and it turned out trick.

My comment was simply related to Material Science ... Heat & Vibration Fatigue Cast AL. ... Especially Poor Cast as in today's production stuff ... People want to make their Profit and tend to cut corners ... Good Cast AL Stoc isn't Cheep ... Most bowl/pump manufactures 'Out Source' their castings and have not the slightest idea of what is being produced for them ... But, they sell it under Their Name ... Check it out for yourselves and Do what your going to Choose to do.
Not 'Bad Mouthing' what your doing Brian ... Just commenting ... Maybe To Much Winter & Not Enough 1/4 Milen'.
