I don't think I could lift the whole engine into the oven 😊

Be adventurous, go the whole hog and split it!

I painted my engine in frame, lots of masking tape and paper, lol.  Came out perfect......  these paints take quite a while to ultimately cure, so let be for a week or so, then you can bake at around 100F recommended..... however, just fire up the bike (with a cooling fan of course) and it will harden up some more.  Note, I did not use any kind of clearcoat, I did not want any extra layers...... before and after.  I used caps to preserve the original finish on the engine bolts.....
