ENGINE PAINTING

Detmurds · Feb 15, 2011

When painting a 134 Ford Engine, must I use engine paint, or can I get away with using regular paint? The thing never really seems to get very hot.

Yes, the exhaust manifold heats up good.

Whatever you paint the tractor with is ok on the engine. I let it burn off the mainfold. If you want paint on the manifold use a high temperature paint, others will comment on that.

ditto 100% what cnks said.

I paint the engines on my fords witht he same stuff as the rest of the cast.. only the hot section on the manifold burns off. for that you can use BBQ black hi temp paint.. and then cure it by starting and running 10 moinutes then shutting off.

CKNS is right Paint wont burn off block exhaust manifold I like the VHT High temp I put it on my turbo to see if it held said it was good for 2000 degrees so i tried it acually is holding and i have gotten it up to 1900 from the egt probe saying I did. Or just get it ceramic coated at a powder coated black grey silver it will never burn off then.
