As you can see from the pictures there is not a radiator fan, with in the increase in tempature from the weather I was able to get the temp gauge 3/4 way to red hot.

I was trying to get all the left over mmo and sea foam out of my engine and exhaust system.

In the process the engine got pretty damn hot, I also got a bunch of mmo and sea foam on the engine.

Oh yes did I mention this was all before the pictures where taken ?

yeah no chipping, bubbling, cracking, etc...

I see people paint their rotarys all the time with NON high temp engine paint.

In fact most rebuilds are painted, what do you think atkins dies one rotor black and the other silver ?

and from what I know they DONT make high temp silver paint.
Ok why would you wanna have it THAT hot .. ?? My goal is to keep my engine running, not cold but, cool ... like in the 1/4 to BIG MAX ON A HOT DAY IN TRAFFIC AFTER REVING IT TO 6000 FOR NO REASON 1/2 :P lol

u guys, if u gonna paint ur engine, make sure its hella clean. no grease, oil etc. lazy man works double. if the base isnt clean, the paint will eventually start chipping off. ull have to then sand down the original paint and start all over....
