E coated seam sealer .
PVC based
Cold applied then cooked when curing paint.
Used to eliminate issues between panel joints with rust and paint loss .
Also acts as sound deadening.
Works great on new cars as seam protector but a nightmare if you want your underbody to show standard however...

Flowing the Raptor head will be a challenge as there not the conventional design . These Ecoboost heads have the exhaust manifold built into the head casting with no access .
The Turbos bolt straight to the heads via a single port outlet to each bank.
So what has gone on in the past and what...
Episode prior to the above shows results prior to porting heads etc.
Shows results from the bolt on kit available .
Transmission - larger pan was fitted to drop the temps 20 degrees but rest is stock
I sense we are going to need a tuning and mods section :
Dynomotive are developing a bolt on kit but are running a test unit that has hit 600bhp at the wheels on the dyno .
Future post : first Raptor to hit 1000bhp.
Well the plot thickens ..
Ford Australia offer as standard 5 years unlimited mileage full coverage warranty .
Must be the further south to the equator you go mechanical things become more reliable !!
