Engine paint and Oring questions

[zeeker1]

I want to paint my engine aluminum but I'd like it to be a tad shinier than the cast look. Any tips as to name and brand? Also I'd like to know if Honda used straight metric or jis (Japanese Industrial Standard) O rings in their motors? Thanks guys....

Honda used F-D up sizes - Like 7.8x2.5MM, unfortunately, - most of the time, you need the right o-ring....

Do you suppose these are commercially available?
