Why not? Auto shop teachers are laways painting water jackets blue and combustion chambers red. You know, on cut-aways of junked engines...

Um, but not on a running engine! That would have no point, plus, mabye the effect of the paint burning might cause problems!

Well, I don't know? I'm running a custom smurf injection system and when I checked my plugs I saw the apex seals were stained blue. I collect the gold that shoots out the exhaust for further fairytale modifications!

Be sure to lube them with Super Glue when you assemble the engine.

Lubing them up and holding the corner piece on is two different things

Send me a PM of what you need, I don't remember off hand everything that is in my parts boxes.

You want the car as it sits now, with the engine out, or driveable? I sure could use the parking spot.
