278 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 Thats a good idea, I painted mine too, but it came off so easy so im powder coating now. As far as the head it wont cool alot more, but any aluminum parts will run cooler than steel. The domes are expensive new, but you can find some pretty cheap on here and it's gonna be cheaper to buy a used set of domes on here then buy a stock head and have it milled. by the way since your tight on the money(I can understand) heres a link to a topic I posted on a cheap way to ceramic coat parts on your engine/ exhaust pipes Ceramic Coating hope that helps. As far as cylinders I think your best bet would try and save some cash and buy a used set off of here, but if you have to then you can go .090 over see if you can just get a hone though, because I wouldnt recomend .090 over, but it can be done. As far as pistons try and find a used set of wiseco pro-lites on here and order new rings for them itll be cheaper. Quote
