Since were doing motor pic's No I didn't take it out again, this is from last summer's rebuild. Used the VHT paints from CT and no peeling of paint anywhere. I just scrubbed the outside of the block with a wire brush, degreased with simple green and cleaned up the other area's with a rag soaked in WD-40

Hmm, I wonder if the colour of the block/head any way contributes to the absorbtion or dissipation of heat? At least, an any significant way...

Here here... very very nice to both of you.
In regards to the engine washing, Castrol Super Clean and either a power washer or a pressure steam cleaner... I will vouch for that Sh1t till the day I die... that stuff is great.

What about rust on a block, what are you guys doing about it before you paint it?

Awesome work Tim, Mike. You can only hope that everyone that gets into DSMs has the same care and attention to detail that you guys do.
Tim, now I know never to underestimate high temp CT paint. Good stuff.

VHT stands for Very High Temp. Its made specifically for these types of applications.

I've always been to afraid to paint my engine black. When the oil leaks start I'd have a harder time finding where they're coming from.
Anyhow, I think it looks awesome!
