Please do not paint your block any color other than black or clear. I really want to clear my next block, but I want something that I know won't wash/burn off. I've never had good luck with engine paint. :-\

When I get my stuff back from the machine shop, it's fancy clean. I need a way to lock in the cleanliness. I wouldn't use clear over dirt or anything. :P

ok if your engine is dirty and it's in your car. get some degreaser, formula 88 and spray a ton of it on your engine after you've let it idle for 10 minutes. just to let the engine warm up and soften whatever grease, dirt is on it. after you've sprayed the degreaser on the warm engine, transmision and let the engine idle for 2 minutes and then turn it off. wait 10 minutes so it cools down some and then spray the engine with a garden hose that has a spray gun nozzle on it at full blast. don't spray too much water on the valve cover incase water gets in the spark plug holes, if it does get in there take out the water with a turkey baster and a vacuume hose. also avoid the distributor cap or put a plastic bag over it. after it's rinsed you can spray armor all on the hoses and plastic things to keep them looking new. when the armor all dries off on it's own it'll look like new.
