Well, one of the people I live with decided to use the block I had in my basement as something to lean cardboard on so he could spray paint something.

Some of it got on the old head gasket, not a big deal I'm going to replace those anyway, but some is in one of my cylinder walls...

Will this just burn off or can this cause some serious damage if I started it up with the paint inside of it?

Try and scrub it off with some solvent and green scotch pads etc.

DO NOT DO IT!!!! Laquer thinner and paper towels should work just fine.

OMG Scotchbrite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like he said thinner and paper towels followed by wiping down the cylinder with oil.

Hell, carb cleaner and a rag would probably do just fine.. I do it at work all the time.

Ill try this since this is what I have, but if not then I will try the thinner idea.
