any decent high temp piant should be fine but i would watch what primer you use as it can cause the new piant to flake mate

[FB_evolutions]

what would you recommend as a primer mate!

[dougie_boi]

not too sure lol check the htp piant and see if it recomends a primer with it mate most 2 pack and celulose would burn and flake with the heat mate but theres alot of felas on here who have pianted there engines etc and should have tips on the primer bud

What sort of temp does the engine get upto roughly. Thurmalox 245 Primer will go upto around 1000'f which is more than enough for an engine.

Most of the paints for use with high temp engine stuff is enamal and there is no need for a primer.

Hammerite. Thats what i used on my engine block and cylinder head.
