I powder coated my new aluminum heads.  I want to find somebody who has 
actually done this and finid out what the outcome was.  I've heard information 
from 'experts' and amateurs that is contradictory.  I've researched until all 
I'm sure of is the heads are A356 aluminum that went thru the T6 'tempering' 
process.  I see all kinds of motorcycle heads get powder coated, and they're 
made of the same stuff.  When I find somebody to tell me what actually happened 
- either they work fine or they exploded after 100 miles -  I'll stop asking.  
Can someone help?  I'm out of ideas where to look and who to ask.  I don't want 
opinions any more, but just how do I find someone who did this...  I know I'm 
not the first one to be ignorant enough to try it, and I know it's not 
recommended (but you'll never find anybodt to say it's OK to put in a light 
switch without turning off the breaker, and we all know that it CAN be done), 
but it's already done and I don't want to throw the $1200 heads away
 unless it is hopeless.
