Had the Edelbrock "endura shine" coating removed as previous owner ruined it. It's bare now and seems like it would suck up any oil like a sponge without a coating of some sort. What say ye.. paint it aluminum color, clear satin or run it as-is?
Again just my $0.02, but I dont advertise aluminum heads either....all engine color....nothing to see here....just beat em by a fender...Add some info... this will be installed with a new set of aluminum heads. I'm leaning toward satin clear or paint aluminum.
All opinions welcome.Again just my $0.02, but I dont advertise aluminum heads either....all engine color....nothing to see here....just beat em by a fender...

To me engine color pait looks more findshed.
Just a thought... Way outside the box....What if you soaked the intake in oil, then it would be uniformly stained, new oil drops would be less likely to absorb or discolor
Any kind of clear will yellow. Even powder coat. It'll be easier to touch up on down the road if you paint it. It needs to be coated with something, otherwise the bare aluminum will get stained quickly.
