    Thanks! I cleaned the engine with degreaser and high pressure washer three times. Then I sprayed the engine with thinner and waited for 20-30 minutes then cleaned it again. Then i masked everything on the engine , then coated it three times with high heat rattlecan spray. I painted the pipe. :p
