Cool man. What color are you going to pain the block? I did my mighty boy's engine in the darker shade of ford engine blue, when i rebuilt it. Works well in a white engine bay, makes it stand out.

Cheers

The color looks the goods man. :D It's a great feeling when you finally get the engine together, after all the hard work to get it to be fully rebuilt.

Cheers

At least you painted it outside and not in your room :lol:

But, why the f**k are you spraying paint through the welsh ports? And it doesn't look like you've plugged up other holes either.. :shock:

I didn't really take too much notice of any other holes or ports, I just assumed you didn't because you didn't with the welsh ones.

You're going to all this trouble and expense to do the 'perfect' rebuild and now you have rogue bits of painted internals :|


I dislike the thought of it. Although it should be able to withstand the temperatures, but it depends of it's ability to stay stuck to the surface.

Anyways, when are you picking up the crank?

i still dont see the reason behind calling it a turbo EF rebuild when you removed the turbo setup.

i dont know why people want shiny welsh plugs, i just paint over mine. and i dont believe people when they say "so you can check on the plugs for damage/corrosion" but i have never seen anyone check them... i cant even see mine with the stock exhaust manifold on
