[Chrysler300] Tempil Sticks

[Rich Barber <barber@xxxxxxxxx>]

The crayons are called tempil sticks and they are designed to melt at 
very specific temperatures.  Here is a source:  
http://www.centaurforge.com/index.html  click on blacksmith tools, then 
tempil sticks.  These are common and should be available at any welding 
supply store.  I recall they are generally designed for use at higher 
temperatures (greater than 300 F, or so).

If you hit the website, take a side trip to the letter and pictures from 
the owner, now on duty in Iraq.  I've never even heard of the business 
before, Google just coughed it up.

A metal heat shield may be needed to protect the brake line and master 
cylinder, but it would appear something is running extra hot.  Try 
viewing the exhaust manifolds in total darkness right after a hard run.  
You might see the hot spots glowing red.
