I want to use this to attach an aluminum heat transfer fins atop aluminum valve covers, will it hold 200 degree heat through engine vibration?

Would think so. Might want to go to the product's website and review the data sheets if it is really critical for you.

I really can't say definitively , but I use it mostly to put heat sinks on chips for RC airplane electronics . I have not experienced those temperatures , maybe the vibration issue . I can tell you this stuff holds like a clamp , and it seems the whole part will break before this Thermal Adhesive will come loose . It says it bonds permanently , and I believe it ! I f you try it make sure to clamp the pieces together !

Yes, it can handle far more heat than 200f, and the vibration shouldn't hurt it if allowed proper time to cure. Make sure there is NO paint/oil/etc. on the valve covers when you put it on. Although this IS ONLY 5g, I imagine the size heatsink you are using on a valvecover is quite large for this small amount of epoxy.

Personally I used this along with 4 micro-drops of JB Weld on all 4 corners... seems to hold up real well.. not sure if JB Weld is rated for that kind of heat though? Just thought I would share my info

As I stated in my review I fastened a finned aluminum heatsink to the top of an RC's ectronic speed control for my offroad race truck. I still had a temp issue so I installed a cooling fan on the heatsik with only the ARCTIC LLUMINUM adhesive holding it on. You will need a sizable contact patch to fasten something down with it so if you are trying to fasten individual fins it may not work. I do think it will work if your fins are connected at the bottom to a main base-plate that you want to fasten to you cover. If you try it follow directions carefully and exactly remembering they recomend the two mating serfaces must very flat and you can't just glue around the edges and expect it to hold and transfer the heat. You must spread a thin layer over entire pc. to be attached and clamp down to squeeze out excess glue till dry! I hope this helped you out because this is the kind of OFF THE WALL stuff I specialize in and make my living on!!!! w

Andrea, I don't think that I would hang this touching the radiator because of the material that it's made of. I think that prolonged heat might compromise it and create a safety concern. I think that these are better suited to be installed directly to the wall. I hope this helps but hopefully others will let you know how they feel as well.

I've used it to pull transmission fluid from a warm bike engine. Im unsure of the temp, but it held up fine. The engine was too hot to touch though. If you're planning on using it for food safe items, I probably wouldn't recommend temperatures that high. The plastic taste/smell may seep into the liquid.

Greetings!I use it on my motorcycle so i put it closer to my engine so i could get a better idea how hot it is getting. Not sure what your using it on but the lead for the outside senor should be long enough to thread it through the firewall on a car to mount it outside. I attached mine with double sided tape and it has stayed put nicely.I'm very happy with mine. No problems for 4 years.

According to the most popular review, "The heater takes but 25 seconds to get up to it maximum operating temperature of 313 degrees F and the back side is roughly 90 degrees F on the silicon side." Most newer plastics can handle temperatures in that range, especially thicker ones designed to hold petroleum-based, 200 degree F engine oil. I would probably give it a shot, but it's up to your discretion. If you do choose to try it out, it would be a good idea to watch it for awhile and make sure it doesn't melt anything.

The heating pad does flex a bit but I don't know if it will flex enough to do what you want. My concern would be possible damage to the wiring/element inside the pad. A call or email to the mfg. would be your best bet regarding possible damage. I used mine on my truck's oil pan. Works great but it didn't require much bending to install.

Hello Marie,It depends on the base that you have, but it will likely not be able to withstand the engine heat for long.-GoWISE USA-GoWISE USA

This adhesive is limited to a service temperature of -40c to 150c, thus it will not work for you. This adhesive is intended to conduct heat to a heatsink in electronic applications, where high thermal conductivity is important, but service temperature is only modestly hot. You'll need a fairly specialized high temperature adhesive to handle 500C.. many of the high temperature adhesives out there (ie: JB Weld high heat) only go up to 250C or so.

Don't know if it is compatible with aluminum radiators. Best to call Evans directly and ask them

I used it on a cast iron radiator but that isn't a direct fire. Don't really know.

It should. The fluid inside the heat exchanger should make no difference. When the probe is inserted into your oil cooler, it should read the temperature exactly as it would in your radiator. Good luck!

I am not sure that would work. The product is submerged in warm water then wrapped around the pipe. It seals tightly by adhering to the overlapped parts. Just not sure what would hold it in place on a radiator. Hope this helps.

I used it to hold down insulation for a cold air intake on a car that went over the radiator which reaches temperatures in excess of 190 degrees so I know it will stand up to black side rails being beat on by the sun.

Not sure if it will work on a area that is subject to heat, it worked just fine on a head gasket on a finish gun. Do you have any of the old existing gasket left see if it has any metal or flame resisiance material in it. Sorry

It has a 1000 degree heat resistance and I am sure it would work, but I would just buy engine paint.

I have not used it in an application where heat is an issue, so I can't honestly tell u. Sorry! By the looks of the other responses, it to hold up to a lot of heat!

Don't know exactly; we used it to attach fairly heavy heat sinks to the line drive ICs in a plasma TV and came back 24 hours later; the heat sinks were firmly attached. These ICs are mounted vertically and run hot; none of the heat sinks has come loose since they were attached about 6 months ago.
