I wouldn't think it would be a problem. I figure the oil gets to around 280-300 degrees at it's hottest. The powder melts at 400 degrees initially but then requires 600+ to burn off. We've powdercoated a set of cylinder heads years ago and other then cleaning all the gasket sealing areas it never did peel or have any issues.

Don't know for sure Garrett but I'd think p/c would be fine there....can't get any hotter than things like valve covers and stuff, could it?

It will hold perfectly even if you will overheat the engine dramaticly.

Mine was powder coated when I bought it new. It held up ok. I have Matt black Garrett. Send it on down.

I don't know if oil will chemically affect the Pcoating... Why don't you anodize it? it will be a cleaner look
Interesting idea as well, thnx man!

Its ressistant to solvents so why it would not hold the oil?
It can hold almost everything...
Powdercoat will be fine. You just need to ensure you keep threads clear, and I would avoid o-ring and gasket surfaces. It just makes it easier if you have to scrape rubber or whatever off at a later date.

Great point, removing P.C. is a bit of a pain. Takes longer to get off than put on for sure. Tape up what needs to stay clean. Special heat tape used of course.
