dont think people paint their actual engines, most people only paint the cam cover

I believe Olly98 is going to paint his engine block as well as his cam cover.

As am I when I finally get round to painting my car.

 

[ollyc98]

[Bence_Fs]

olly

i think 2 pack paint is ok, i,ve used it before with no probs

 

[ollyc98]

It's ok on the rocker cover but the block gets a little warm.

 

[frank]

ye i,ve used it on kart engines, and i think they get hotter than a water cooled block ?

 

[curtis]

i'm in the process of painting my old k10 block in red!

 

[ollyc98]

Oh right, yeah kart engines do get hot. I'm also painting my block red.

 

[joelh]

think am going go gloss black here with red cam cover

 

[quickdraw]

i did my block in gloss black and my head in red, with my black rocker cover....

looks good, but its gotta be dead clean before you do it, and put lots of coats on..
