    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi,
Does painting an engine (including air fins) create heating problem? Read differing opinions on the web. Thanks.
 
No problems. Race engines are always painted, but they wouldn't if there was good reason not to.
 
paint away. :D

Even the silver, natural aluminum coloured engines are painted, stock.
 
I'll be painting mine this winter. Paint doesn't hurt, as said.
 
I occasionally paint cars, have the necessary refinishing equipment and access to a spray booth. I have been thinking about refinishing the engine on one of my 1100E's. The "black motor" of the '83 appears to be satin epoxy of some type. Does anyone know the definitive answer as to what type of finish it is? I could work with my paint dealer and probably get it pretty close, but if someone has already done the leg work and knows, it would save me some trouble.
 
Most people around here use rattle can paint. If you come across any high temperature epoxy engine paint (that doesn't come in a rattle can) please share.
