Rebuilt 302 casting heads available through Rockauto

Received the two 2D31 Famous Brand cylinder heads yesterday from Rock Auto in Houston. They were remanufactured in Mexico. Casting #4323302 on both & they look ok.

Regarding the heat buttons, if they melt at 265*F, it would be best not to cure any VHT paint applied to them in an oven, as instructed on the cans: first at 250*F, then at 400*F, then at 600*F. It would be better to wait 7 days, then cure the painted heads on the engine, as instructed. Dupli-Color engine enamel with ceramic spray cans instructions don't specify any baking or curing, so maybe that would be a better choice.

Yes just use the Dupli-Color aerosol ceramic engine paint, spray it on as directed. Stands up to the engine heat just fine. Air dries and no need to cure. Available at O'Reilly's as one place to get the mopar colors.

Myself being a previous bodyman / painter, I always put down a coat of standard gray primer surfacer first on the well prepared engine prior to painting. This gives the final paint a nice base to stand up on, instead of getting sucked into the roughness of the cast iron. Stands up to engine heat excellent too. Have painted complete diesel engines like this too, not a problem.
