WOW 94SSE... WOW

That engine should be behind glass somewhere, protected so it will never get dirty again. The gold looks awesome!

Did you have to take the engine (or parts) out to paint it, or just leaned over and did it??

I was able to reach everything with a paint brush. The only thing I took off was the intake so I could paint the ELC and the exhaust manifold going behind the engine. Other than that, I leaned over, sprayed the paint in a container, inhaled the least fumes I could and put a few coats on what you see (including the master cylinder in back).

Thanks for the compliments. And thanks Will for lowering my post count. I wasn't trying to increase it unfairly, honest.

my engine looks worse then the first one... it doesnt even have the tuned port injection cover.. I think I lost it when I took the intake off to reseal it.

92Trofeo...If you weren't across the map I'd paint yours. Seems like another service I can offer for my detailing business. Not that many people would be insane enough to want theirs done like mine though. And I'm not even done with the engine yet!
