Engine paint

Post by Nigelkat » Thu Jul 02, 2015 9:54 pm

I`ve used smothrite silver on my 1100 engine and been very happy with it giving a good durable finish and petrol proof too...

Since I last used it several weeks ago the fuel tap has been left slightly on, normally I turn it off even if I`m just stopping for a short time, but not this time though and fuel has leaked from the pipe and dropped onto the motor

BOLL**KS Not so petrol proof as I thought :( :(

Will check the oil for fuel just in case its full of fuel, doesn't smell like it though.
