On that note- Has anyone gone for non original colours on a OHV engine ? Or is everyone keeping it original..

Does anyone have any pics?

VHT paint is usually for exhaust manifolds. Your block should never get that hot.

I don't know if you can get gloss VHT paint. You could use the matt VHT paint on your block but it would not look as good as gloss enamel finish.
