valve cover housing surface
crank
optispark hole

water tempature sensor
water pump drive
spark plugs

hell am I missing something?
I wonder if he painted the pistons and rods?

 

lol.. guess he got new plugs.. didn't even see that the first time! Sad part is, that's all gonna discolor once it's brought up to operational temp. Boy I hope they got out the acetone and paint thinner... Intake ports, exhaust ports, header-mating surface, valve cover surface... ouch. Never mind all the overspray in the heads that WILL show up in the oil filter for years to come. hopefully it won't eat the bearings.

Again though... there's no saving those seals. Once you strip the paint off that telfon/rubber left is totally suspect.



LESSON: NEVER let someone take a SPRAY CAN to your EXPENSIVE engine build.

 

Heres mine abot ready to go in the car.

 

 

dang that motor is nice,ive been doing custom paint and body for years now and i recently sprayed all my brackets, alt, ws6 rims and some other stuff in porsche schwartz, and then hit my pullies with some flattned deep black. Ive done several high dollar restos and street rods using regular single stage car paints on the motor and they always turn out great and hold up amazing after years of abuse, i hate using spray paint on anything, its cheesy but you can get good results with the engine spray.. cant wait to get my convertible mustang done to start on the body of the trans am

 

here's my powerplant

 

ha ha ha

i was messing around looking at the members lists and found my old acc that i forgot about. i logged on to it just for the heck of it and just posted this thinking i was on THIS account. sorry

 

Those are pacesetter headers?

 

pacesetter lt's race.

shiny, you can see my friend taking this pick in the primaries!

 

Those look pretty good.

 

HOLY CRAP that looks badass!!

 

And I thought that we would have fresh paint on some nice cars from this thread.

 

ummm its not done yet but here is a start...

 

Paint in the Exhaust ports doesnt really matter, its just gunna burn right away.

 

Right now these are the only pictures I have. The block is also black.
