Default Re: Powder on inside of engine

Internal engine parts (rods etc.) require a special coating. Powder won't do it. I have known of guys painting the lifter valley for better oil return. I can't recommend doing it with powder, cause I don't know.

It takes 350 to 400 for powder to cure, but will scorch at about 275 after curred (so I'm told) I did a guy's intake once, and the powder burned at the area that supplies heat for the choke. Needed to block the port off in the head, but he didn't.
