I sprayed Christine's engine block, valve covers, oil pan, and exhaust
manifolds with Duplcolor Very High Heat ceramic paint... the 1200 degree
stuff - and unfortunately I don't have any real time on the engine since it
was installed. She's still not in running order (massive
still-to-be-located fuel leak at the tank) so I can't tell you how they will
hold up. I can tell you that there is some rust that started bleeding
through the paint on the exhaust manifolds - which I kinda expected to
happen as it was are cast iron and I didn't do a very good job cleaning them
up to start with.
Engine and valve covers look fine so far however.
