Hey man, while you're at it, paint the underside of your valve covers, the top of your heads, the underside of your intake, the inside of your block. I wonder if it would help to paint your bearing surfaces too. Sorry if I'm a little cynical sometimes, but I honestly can't believe that painting the surfaces is going to make a bit of difference. Underdrive pulleys i can see making a small difference, maybe not a noticable one, but a small one. It makes sense, accesories cause drag on the motor. But there are thousands of racers that have all out drag motors that don't have painted surfaces and if they ever have problems with oiling the motor, it's usually because they put a high volume pump in, or some other problem unrelated to oil collecting in places other than the pan. I'm sorry if I sounded like I was thrashing you man, no harm intended. Just thought your time and money might be better spent elsewhere. And you guys talk about all of these articles where people recommend it. You are the kind of people who go out and buy oxyclean by the gallon from a 3:00 am infomercial. Just my opinion, take it for what it is. Hey man If you get it done and it works out for you, and your car hawls ***, shout out a post and I'll congradulate you.
