VHT paint bake and crankcase side cover seals

I am getting ready to paint my engine. I have decided on VHT. I want to bake the parts after painting (200 degrees f.). I am wondering about the oil level sight glass and seal and the kicker seal. Should I remove them? is there a good way to do that? Should I then replace them?

Thanks,
 
you dont need VHT paint on the side covers. pj1 or sperex engine case paint will do just fine. mask up the seal and the side glass before spraying and then just put it in the oven for about 10 minutes until it is almost to hot to touch then remove it and leave it to cure for at least 12 hours.
VHT is for exhausts and cylinder heads
 
Seeing that the temp guage on the Cooley normally runs around 265 degrees I dont think an oven at 200 to 225 would hurt the seal or the glass.

Is there a disadvantage to using VHT on the covers, or an advantage to using pj1 or sperex engine case paint? I would just as soon use the VHT for everything unless there is a reason not to.

Thanks,
 
there is no advantage or disadvantage. i was just stating you dont really need VHT paint for the casings
 
You dont need anything really..I polish mine and a good liberal rubbing with WIZARDS POWER SEAL..ive had no corrosion what so ever on any parts ive used it on. I just refresh the seal every spring and they stay absolutely just as you started with.
