Engine paint
I recently got my k301 block back from the machine shop. Block was ball peened and cleaned up. Looked great!!!! Amazing to look at that bare cast iron. I decided to use Rustoleum High Heat Ultra BBQ paint on the block. Rated at 1200 degrees. This stuff is incredible. I comes in flat or high-sheen semi. I chose the latter. Great spray, great coverage and amazing drying time. Within 2 minutes, the paint was dry enought that a thumb firmly pressed into the surface didn't leave a mark. Waited 10 minutes and recoated. Repeated this until I had 6 coats on it. Later in the afternoon (about 5 hrs later) I put it in my oven set at 170 degrees for 4 hrs. I know some people will comment that that is too soon to cook the paint. Not even a single bubble. And the surface is so tough that a fingernail can't even come close to scratching it. The only problem I had was with the oil pan. I ordered a used cast iron from fleabay. It came with rust, grease, chipped paint. Prepped it as best as I could; evaporust, degreaser, scotch bright. Then painted as I did with the block. While assembling the engine, I noticed some of the areas on the pan were flaking off. I think I may take the pan and re-prep it then prime it with rust inhibiting primer and try painting again.

Also called shot peening. It closes the metal pores as opposed to sand that opens the pores. Much different results.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
