Do you use Primer on your engine before you paint it?

That suprises you?


Yes lol....it does, I have seen guy's paint the insides of there blocks and through use and temperature changes and oil being exposed to the paint.....its no good.

Even more so if your engine has blow by and the oil gets even a little bit gassy smelling,before long your just asking for it to break the paint down and then where does it go?

plugs your lifters and pushrods and sucks to the bottom of your oil pump pick up screen and then no oil gets to your engine and then you dust an engine over a couple dollars worth of paint on the inside of your block.

I have personally seen it happen and will not do it lol.

If anything I would have the inside of the block professionally Teflon coated if you are worried about the inside of your block.

But paint? your asking for trouble,not to mention.....who cares what color the inside of there engine is lol? your never going to see it.

Somewhere I have and engine building guide that explains why not to get paint in the engine and what causes it to break down and also mentions certain chemicals that expel from the paint due to heat and oil and fuel contamination which can inturn break down the viscosity of the oil.

I don't know, I just know I do not paint the inside of my engines but to each his own i suppose.
