Best way is to get the block clean and grease free, then apply 2 coats of epoxy primer, when the epoxy has flashed off for about an hour go on with 2 pack, this will give an excellent shine and last for years. Personally i've never found a so called engine paint that lasted.

Here's a shot of the engine in my roadster after 3200 miles.
If iwas gonna burn around the ports( the hottest spot) ya'd sure see it with this color.
Prep block, 1 coat epoxy, 2 coats base coat (20 minutes flash on the epoxy)
2 coats clear.
Works 4 me, and has 4 years.
Differant strokes, differant folks.
