What is coking? The GM performance parts book states that a heat sheild can be mounted under the zz series manifold [10185063] to prevent coking. To futher the question what is a heat sheild and when does it become necessary to use on a engine application?

 

Many people in columbia and cuba used to use their sbc powered vehicles to cure coco leaves before they made cocaine out of them (they would set the leaves on the intake, this was back in the early 80's). Once this was brought to general motors attention they put a stop to it by putting a heat sheild under the intake manifold to reduce the heat on the surface..... these reduced temperatures were not enough to cure the coco leaves. If your in the states (excluding southern Fla.) I would'nt worry about any "cokers" trying to steal your sbc powered vehicles to process their drugs.

 

your either really retarded or cant pull off being a smart ***

coking is the whats left of petroleum after being used as fuel basically carbon build up

 

Basically the build up of whats left of burnt oil, don't think it has anything to do with fuel or carbon build up.
