Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines how hot do valve covers get?

I found POR 20 at a local paint store. It claims to be good to 1400* F

I'm thinking of painting the race car header (small one) and the turbo and manifold for the tow rig (Diesel, if it crests 1200*F EGT something is horribly wrong).

Mocking up the turbo currently.

Hope to see good reults ( I would be satisfied with just a lack of rust).
