In the past, I’ve simply pointed a can of Krylon in the general direction of my engine as a last step in a rebuild. I got the expected results but didn’t really care as long as it ran, had oil pressure, compression, and I could keep leaks to a trickle. Now, instead of a rebuild, I find myself doing a “restoration”. (I just wrote a check to the chrome plater!).
Consequently, I’m thinking about a proper engine paint job. I recently bought a new engine for my sailboat (one of the very few new “durable items” I’ve purchased in my 3 score plus years) and noticed that it had what appeared to be a 2 part paint job, not very well done I might add. It seems to hold up under the heat, although probably somewhat cooler than a car engine. Any thoughts on engine paint will be appreciated. Tom
