Hi all,
Just got the block back from the machine shop from hot tanking and boring. Looks really nice!!! Much better than the rust and grease covered engine that went in.
Next week I want to paint it. What suggestions do people have for the process and what kind of paint do I use? The machine shop recommended putting on an etching primer then painting it with engine paint.
I was at the autobody store today and they were recommending using POR15 engine paint and brushing it on. We've used regular POR15 for the body and its pretty good. I want the engine to look sharp..
What parts of the engine should be (or not) painted? I'm planning on leaving all the internal parts unpainted. Is this correct? What about the valve lifter chamber?
Any suggestions?
