Engine painting
DaveFJ - 9/7/03 at 11:36 AM

currently overhauling my engine....

Any suggestions/advice on painting the block/head?

Also my cam cover is now nicely polished ali - can anyone recommend a clear laquer that won't discolour with the heat ?

cheers

we've used two pac on our race engines, they come up looking nice! see my website for pics of the end results. otherwise I presume halfords will sell some overpriced heatproof acclaimed stuff....
