Valve Cover, but still. He wants to see the Head and block black too, it seems.

*squints* Oh. I see that block is blak. The Head threw me off.

 

Nice

 

that would prolly look sweet in one of those nice wire tuck'd bays!!

Well this was my old ITR/GSR Motor setup. When it was finished it was dropped in to the DA I used to own. I sold the car a year ago to a guy in my area. I talk to him every once and a while and as far he tells me, the paint on the whole engine is still holding up very nicely. I used Dupont 500 degree Gloss Black Paint. But I cleaned the block meticulously. I used a the same brand Grey Primer to make sure the paint was even on it. If you have any more questions about it just shoot me an IM.

 

I like the look.

 

here some pictures of my engine from the swap

 

i did this with my old 240 motor....looked good IMO.

Only thing is... if the block is black, it's hard to find the oil leaks if there are any.

hell no, as a matter of fact it shows 10x times better since the oil is shiny as hell and it reflects yellow'ish off the black, esp if the black is a flat black like what i use.

I can vouch for this...very easy to spot leaks

 

Exactly what I am wanting to do with my swap going in my EF this summer! Subscribed!

 

Wish this thread was up last week, i woulda painted my h22 before it went in the car.

Looks badass!

 

wow. looks alot better than i would expect

 

Curious also. Bump.

 

itll look like the header is floating

 

Black to nice

 

Becareful when you paint black motors, if there is any liquid leak it is going to be tougher to spot the leak!!! Ask my boy that blew his motor up becuase he couldnt spot the oil coming from the dowel pins
