This may seem like a basic question but its coming out of an abundance of caution on my part.
I am having a '51 Mercury flathead built and it is currently almost done. Watching several videos on YouTube many folks recommend going over your block with a propane/MAP torch and heating it up enough to burn out any oils and moisture from the porous cast surface before applying paint. Is this going to cause any issues on an assembled engine or on a flathead block? Have you had success with this method? Any other tips or tricks? I plan on brush painting it with some primer and then a layer of color. |
