and what keeps them from rusting again?

 

stuff paper in the openings and bolt holes? what's that for?
and if paint, than what color and what paint is resistant to that temperature?

 

i believe the BILLET polish will

 

stuffing the inlets and...exhaust so that paint doesn't get in them and the bolt holes for the same reason. paint in the bolt holes will make it difficult to put the bolts in when you're putting it all back together. you don't have to but i would suggest it.

Here go. Just don't tell your wife/mother what you're cooking.

 

wow that's interesting, but l'll have to wait till my parent's leave some where for a few days. And where do i get that paint?

 

Its a spray paint. Try Auto parts stores (Advance, Auto Zone, NAPA,...) and Wal-Mart and Kmart/Sears Grand.
