Been a long time since I made a post. I have cleaned up the ending as best as I can and gave it a spray with high temp matt black paint.
Wasn't sure about it at first but it is growing on me. I think it will need a second coat but I installed the engine again, torqueing up the bolts to 44Nm as specified.
Looking at wrapping the exhausts next. Going to do some study into wrapping before I purchase any wrap.
