engine covers paint? also averages engine temp??
 
as titled really, makes sense first really, how hot does a pit bike engine get? i know usually oil temp gauge dipsticks go to about 100'c, im thinking of using plastidip on my flywheel and clutch casing, mostly due to the colours of them and how easy it is to remove if i dont like it, im going to use propper paint for the head but doesnt matter about that, plasti dip can take up to 191.11'c
(312'f)

oh well it should be ok then, thanks! i suppose if the temp gauge only goes to 100 that would be it overheated
