Cheers for all your help guys. I have taken the old one off and put the temporary one on for now... I have wire brushed the old one, but I need to degrease it now and give it a really good clean up before I start the painting process.
Cheers!!

Just doing this myself. Is there anything special required inside the rocker paint wise?
I'm tempted to just give it a clear blast to keep it all protected.
Views?

I wouldn't paint the inside. I'd imagine that any coating will come off eventually, and then it's inside your engine. It doesn't really need any protection, it spends most of its life covered in oil.

The engine builder that builds all of our historic racing engines (BDA, BDG and ford twin cam) uses any old acrylic paint he can find in a rattle can. Engines are rebuilt and repainted quite prequent but still they do look good! I am painting my mini block with just smooth red hammerite paint, should work a treat!
