Jay,
Are you using their engine paint or their regular POR-15? I have not had any
problems with the regular paint sticking (after prepping with their metal
prep), but I have not tried their engine paint. If you are using their
regular paint on your engine block, I don't think that will work too well
once the engine gets hot!!!
