Curious why you saw fit to paint the surfaces of the cylinders?
More important, I recommend you install studs in those 8 holes for the jacket cover plate. This will eliminate a leak path from the water jacket. Those bolts are known leakers. Moyer sells a kit for this, but if you can get a foot of 5/16 all-thread, you can make your own studs then seat them in the block with JB Weld. Use stainless nuts and washers to reinstall the cover plate.
