I’m disassembling a 1.7 parts car engine and want to paint the fan housing for a future engine build. After a couple of hours of scrubbing and cleaning I can see metal underneath all of the caked on grease and oil! What’s the best next step cleaning and prepping process before paint? Is oven cleaner ok to use?
Thanks, Jsaum Attached thumbnail(s) |

What heat dissipation is there on a cool air shroud?
I have sand blasted them and sprayed with silver metallic. The mag will soon tarnish soon. |

What heat dissipation is there on a cool air shroud? --- None. The heat dissipation isn't a thing with the shroud. Guys aren't really thinking on this one. I have sand blasted them and sprayed with silver metallic. The mag will soon tarnish soon. ---Porsche had the magnesium gas burners primered and painted so they would look nice. The same can be done with the fan shroud. I would use a two part paint if you want it to last. |
