I have a new set of 440 Source hesds that I need to paint. I'll be using a good primer & then high temp paint. My question is, do I mask off the intake & exhaust ports before painting ???
I painted my Eddy's over 5yrs ago, and the paint is better on them then the block.. all did was wipe down wiht enamel reducer and tape off exhaust ports (intake was on)
I wouldn't paint any surface that has a gasket over the top of it on the heads. Gas will break down paint on the intake side and exhaust ports that are painted will not like hot exhaust gases. In some cases paint may hold up but why take a chance.
I mask the intake. The exhaust ports get stuffed with towels. All my aluminum heads have been painted. The Indy logo is even filled with bondo, Been that way 10 years.
