Heat cuased by PCing head?

[Foxhound013]

I really would like to paint the engine, while I have the bike apart for the rebuild but my dad thinks it will make the engine run hotter thus more unreliable. I don't disagree with this but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure.

I'm pretty sure PCing doesn't affect heat enough to make the motor run any different or make it more unreliable.

Ya my dads 200x which is all built up has a black motor and it doesnt seem to bother it and todays cooling system is better than they were in 86

my 250r had 2 black motors on it, both ran just fine with no over heating problems. Im going to paint mine on my 400 also

Paint it any color you want . Just try to avoid thick and high gloss. The black is best color idea is a misunderstood myth .
