Scary stuff, I have ordered 2 new adjusters.

Interesting you would say slant six bars. I bought a set of mp 6 bars new, installed them and it was like there were no bars in there at all, adjusters almost all the way up to get the pan off the floor. Maybe you have something with the outsourcing of the bars and inconsistent quality.

Yes those were replaced when I did the build.

Thanks to all for the great feedback on this topic!

I agree that they need to take a set. This happened on the first series of races we did with these bars when new. I was very careful to get the bars on the correct sides via the numbers stamped on the end, double checked as I thought that might have been the problem. I will replace the...

Great idea on painting reference marks on the parts, will do before I race again in June. I have never witnessed the headers glowing red, either on the dyno or at the track. At that heat I would anticipate melting the protective covering on the bar?

Well cheapest thing to do would be to replace the adjusters. I took both out and visually inspected them for damage to the threads.

Thanks for the thought, I suppose it could be defective. Looking to go coil over now, really dont want to go to fenderwell headers if thats the case.

I would think there would be some damage to the coating on the bar if it were getting that hot, but a possibility. The AF ratio is good so I know I am not running lean enough to cause the headers to get that hot.

Thanks, will do that next time out.

Have you heard of this happening? TTI says (of course) that it isnt a problem

These are new bars from MP, havent heard anything negative about their product. Frame socket was my first thought but they are solid. I also thought it might be a stripped adjuster but they are fine
