Great paint for engine, after doing all that work, skip the rattle can jobs and get something chem resistant that wont peel when fuel hits it.

When Jim from Redline Cycles rebuilt my motor about 7 yrs ago , he painted my jugs & head with BBQ grill paint
& it still looks as good as the day I picked it up from his shop
I don't know if he used a special process, but you can Google BBQ grill paint for motorcycle engines & see what you come up with

Replied by rrsmsw9999 on topic 1981 KZ550A2 Update - Flywheel Holder
Just wanted to add`that my valve spring compressor is a perfect flywheel holder tool. The tool has socket type attachments for the valve head. With the attachment removed the posts are perfect and the tool is the right size for flywheel holding.

Replied by rrsmsw9999 on topic 1981 KZ550A2 Update - Antisieze on crankcase bolts
Hello all, the FSM does not specify anti-seize for any fastener. Should anti-seize be used on crankcase bolts and nuts?
Any input appreciated.
