I use zinc weld though paint.. looks great.
It stops the aluminium oxidising.
This U pol one is very good. And in my opinion the best for what it was intended for.

Or could use matt lacquer???.
Or leave O-natural
But if youβre looking for a OEM concourse look ....the Gearbox should be bolted to the engine ....then spray engine with some of the engine components ( l can list ) now the over spray will fall on the gearbox

.
Then BMC turned the engine Upsidedown to dry, I have some pictures somewhere where the Paint runs on the sump are upside down.....
