The real problem would be getting them into the block.

to be fair it would probably just burn off immediately

It would either be impossible to assemble or lose 90% of its efficiency in a few cycles after the paint goes away.

only the top is in the burning chamber. The paint will cause friction when the piston should roll veeeery smoothly over the crank and when moving upside down in the cylinder. There are plenty of engine in these areas even without paint.

i guess we’d need a sacrificial engine and some paint, but i imagine the combination of heat, chamical stress and friction would just strip it off.
