Engine Operating Temperature
« on: January 28, 2015, 06:42:29 AM »
Hi,

From UK.

 I have a 550 and I would like to repaint the engine.  A paint I like for colour is Hycote VHF Silver Grey, followed by clear lacquer. Now for this to cure the engine has to reach 220 degrees. I have used Simonsiz 5 wheel silver previously but would like to use a more heat resistant paint.
Does anyone know what temperature a SOHC Honda engine would reach? (Hycote supplied the info re the paint).

Thanks for any help you can give.
