The finished product looks very nice. It will clean up even more after I wash it. I can't do that until it is back on the engine and the engine is mounted.
I used masking tape under the valves to keep them from falling down while I compressed the springs and installed them.
I painted the head and the exhaust manifold at my apartment on the balcony. I first degreased it, washed it, and dried it. I then used Panel Wipe to do a final wash. I warmed it up in the oven before painting it. After painting it (on the balcony in a box) I put it back in the oven and baked it for an hour and a half at 200. That dried it well.
Normally, high temperature paint dries and sets from the heat of the engine as it is running. The oven also works.
