I would be worried about the paint on the springs and valves and inner part off head, that might due some serious damage..

Um. That really needs to be disassembled, stripped, reassembled, and painted *taped off*.

Why not just paint the engine all together as a unit.

another good idea. i really did not think paint would cause that much damage to an engine. hmmmm... all well nothing i can not fix before it causes more trouble for me!
