Tapped block paint

[DonIII]

Any ideas or thoughts on what paint to use on my tappet blocks for a factory type finish?
Thanks Don

Don,
There are a lot of paints out there, by personally, I've always preferred Harley-Davidson Heat Resistant Silver. I don't have much reason to be seen in a Harley Davidson Dealership these days, except for '36 batteries and some of their aerosol products - they're of the highest quality (and priced accordingly).
I assume that your looking for silver it its for tappet blocks...

How does it handle fuel drooling on it, Bill?

I am not Bill, but it doesn't like it all.

Thanks, Pan620!

I imagine the MOCO would blame it upon 'poor preparation'.

But P4gas rules.

Usually.

Weren't the WW2 tappet blocks painted in that creamy white paint?

Yes, and the oil pumps too. It started pre-war (for us anyway) due to aluminum rationing. No silver paint.
