[DeTomaso] NOW Cyl head paint

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Peter,

               I don't know the exact answer to your question.  I have 
done a few engines and I have used VHT engine paint on the iron heads. 
I have been disappointed that it cooks off of the exhaust ports over 
time.

               I am building another engine.  I have looked into engine 
paints again.  There are some engine paints capable of withstanding 
*very* high temps.  Unfortunately, the color choice is limited to black 
or gray, if I recall correctly.   I checked with a friend in the powder 
paint business.  He tells me that there is not any powder paint that 
will endure the heat of the exhaust ports.   I am resigned to paint the 
engine and let the exhaust ports get fried over time.  Sigh.   It is not 
nice and tidy.

                         Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
