Engine Paint Recomendation

Posted by Brandon On 2008/5/24 14:00:06

I cant remember if i had told everyone that my engine was the original, somebody had just decided to paint it red for some reason.

Anyway since my Patrician only has 86k on it, i dont plan on rebuilding the block for a while, but i want to keep it looking nice until then. Ill probably keep it red untill its rebuilt as well, then ill repaint it to original.

Ive got my heater core off, and im getting ready to pull the manifold, and the valve covers, but i have almost no idea what to paint them with. And do i try and cover the inside of them or will that just flake off and cause problems.

I started the heater core with that Plasticote Engine enamel, but im not so sure its very good. That stuff seems so soft.

Also what is a favorite parts wash arund here?
