While the motor is out.. I've cleaned the engine bay, especially all the crud that was built up on it.
Need to finish this up
Found a crack in the EGR tube for the exhaust manifold. Far as I can see it'* integral, I picked up another one. But it was ugly
I slipped and some spilled on my engine block
Crap..it dripped onto the heads
I fixed up the loom down by the AC compressor since it was horrible as well.
When it goes back together it'* going to be clean, and respectable looking.

MY EYES!!!!!! MY EYES!!!!!.....I'm blinded! The glare is amazing.
That just ain't right...no fair :? . Motor and heads are gleaming and purdy. Really nice to see you going the extra mile while access is easy and extra stuff isn't attached.
Very nice job.
I still think it should have been painted Barney purple!!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Overall...painting was easy. I had already cleaned/degreased the motor when it came out, cleaned all the gasket surfaces. It was really a tape/masking it off. A quick sanding to ensure all loose paint was off and repaint a couple good coats.
My oil pan will stay brushed aluminum as will the timing cover.

Yeah, Bill still thinks he can fool people into mistaking his car for stock, but I think the constantly smoking tires will give it away...
Looking good, Bill!
