I've stripped the engine down to bare metal to be painted in semi gloss 2k black paint.

I'd prefer the barrel and cylinder to match too, but realise that most people use VHT paint for those parts.

Does anyone know if the 2k will take the heat OK or should I use VHT?

Hi,

2K is for shure fine for enginge blocks, for zylinders it should be fine as well. I have not really personell experience with 2K on cam covers, but had bought some 10 years ago an engine with a red cover - most likely 2K paint. There were no blisters nor any other wearing.
It is your experiment - good luck!

P.S.:
In case you need to paint your exhaust too, I recommend this HT paint: (e.g. supplier) https://www.amazon.de/product-reviews/B ... filter-bar
For my part, it was a revelation.

I use 2k for several heads, even on my vintage-racer. No problems since 20 years.

not nos, the exhaust is Marving (Italy) and the downpipe is Musket (NZ).

I bought them in that order, but Marving sell both as a matching pair. I should have bought them both from Marving if I'd have known that in the first place.

This one: https://www.musketmufflers.com/collecti ... er-silence

will fit? Looks way much better than a marving.
