Quick question that popped into mind since we’re on the topic of engine paint. With aluminum heads, does the paint tend to burn off at the exhaust ports like on the iron heads or does it stay looking good? I just ordered a pair of 61529 E heads and I pondered for a moment if I’m going to paint or not paint.

I’ve got all these brand new pretty aluminum parts collected for my build (heads, intake, timing cover, water pump) and I want them to stay looking good and easy to clean. I do love the look of Pontiac silver/blue under the hood but maybe “au naturale” is easier in the long run? Thoughts?

When I had my edelbrock heads painted pontiac blue, the color did not change or burn off the exhaust ports the whole time I had them on the car.
