I'm getting my reassembled shortblock back from the machine shop this weekend. Everything was cleaned but the outside of the block still looks bad. Is it OK to go over it with some engine paint? Thanks
Yes I painted it myself, its really not hard to do. The total cost was $27.30. The inside of the block is coated with Glyptal red paint to help oil drain back into the sump. The outside of the block is painted with Plasticolor Ford blue engine enamel. There is no powdercoating here.
