pinto head paint quetion

[GJUK]

All,

 

 

In the above image the spark plug areas are painted blue. The surrounding metal where the exhaust/inlet manifold would bolt to is left 'bare'. Is this correct practise or should this metal be treated/varnished to stop it rusting?

 

Thanks

if you paint the manifold mating surface then the gasket may not seal. if you want to protect the head then put the gasket onto the head draw around it then mask out the mating surface before painting ps be sure to use the right paint as not heatproof paint will burn off and look shite

Dude, thanks again.

 

Do you want to come and build this head for me while you're at answering all my questions?
