Why are the heads painted and the cylinders not painted on Yamaha's?? I completely removed my engine assy and painted completely black. Installed new head decal. I think the engine looks much better and now has corrosion protection. The reasoning to not paint cannot be due to heat disipation, so what for? Cost??
