Thread: Painting an engine.

Thanks Robin. Jerry, I appreciate that feedback about the sealing. It was a tradeoff somewhat as he really hates void areas in the finishes, so we decided the only way to really get a clean edge was to paint it all then roughen the gasket area only . He was also looking for a gold sealant so none would show around the gaskets.

We'll see how it works out and if it leaks at all we'll remove the paint entirely in the gasket areas only, at least around all the intake and water ports. In fact, now that I think about it, we will remove the paint around the ports before we aseemble it for the first time.
