Heat Riser Temp

Post by Scruffy Buggy »

Anybody ever shoot the heat riser section of their intake to compare the temperature to the actual exhaust? I am wondering how hot a functioning heat riser should read?

Did you say 170º F?

I can't imagine holding my hand on that temp for even a second... that's the kind of temp that will blister quickly. 110º maybe? 110º shower is pretty hot... some foks can handle it... but 170 is a fair bit shy of boiling... but not enough to hold my hand on it.

YOU CAN TOUCH AND HOLD 170f FOR A FEW SECONDS....NOT A PROBLEM. I CAN HOLD IT LONGER
BECAUSE I HAVE *TEMPERED* MY HAND OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE CALLUSES...

Can anyone with a functional heat riser just shoot the thing with an IR Thermometer and answer the question?
