I'm ready to paint my engine block ( just basic black) but want to dress up the timing cover a little different. I had the local auto paint supply shop fill a couple rattle cans with ppg argent silver I used on the rear end and transmission and have a little left over. I would like to use that for the cover but it's not rated high heat so was wondering how hot the timing chain cover actually gets. I'm thinking probably no where near what the block would heat up to since it's just behind the fan etc.but I can't remember a time when I had to actually feel it right after a shut down. Could someone give me a hint?
I swear, the more I work on this car the dumber I get!!
