Re: engine paint
i painted mine the other week when i fitted it
i painted the block using, brush on hammerite
inlet manifold,gearbox+sump+rocker cover, i just used standerd car paint out of a aerosol
exhaust manifold, i used exhaust manifold paint
i dint do the head as i wanted to keep it alloy
when the car was first started it was a bit smokey which i expected, not thick smoke just a "cooking smoke"
after that passed its been fine and has held on well
