Of course I have to get high heat resistance paint but what is the highest temperature the engine can get?<P>------------------<BR>Brainless<BR>93 Red RS<BR><A HREF="http://www.Geocities.com/j_micho" TARGET=_blank>geocities.com/j_micho</A>

I guess the engines stays somewhere from 190 - 220 degrees F. But can get hotter!<P>you may look in to Powdercoating the Valve Cover. Thats what Id like to do when I ever get the money<BR>

I am planning to paint my valve cover next weekend and the paint i got can resist ca. 395 F. it is called hammerite<BR>I'll paint it red and then sand the paint off the letters "MAZDA"
