Default What paint can is use on a ls2? Por 15?
Looking to paint my motor. The guy i bought it from primed it with a self etching primer. Im looking to paint it now before i install it. I have used the por 15 before on cast blocks and it worked great. Can i use the por 15 on the ls2 or do you guys have something better. Thanks

Por 15 is a metal paint that stops rust so it's not necessary. Since the LS2 block is aluminum and already primed just use high temp paint in any color you desire.

High temperature engine paint only, anything else will eventually start to flake off from the heat.
