has anybody here done this...

im in the process of it and i would like to see pics from u guys i now is better to remove the engine but if u cant this is the way to go... show ur pics and process pics thanks and tips also

 

just spend the 4 hrs and pull the motor

 

lol u make it sound so easy... is just 4 hours.. yea right it will take me a week to put it back together if i dont brake anything

 

are you talking about actually painting the whole engine or just the valve cover? cant really tell from ur pic

 

sorry for the confusion im talking about the engine bay lol ill never paint my engine

 

well, I can honestly say that this is probably not a good idea. Generally I'm all for doing crazy things that people say won't work, but there is going to be many places that you aren't going to be able to reach while the engine is in there. Not to mention that you won't be able to prepare the surface properly while it's in there. The only thing you MIGHT be able to get away with, although you're going to be able to tell that the engine wasn't taken out, would be to spray a black just all up in there, I donno.

Edit: Do what you wanna do man, 20 bucks says that you're not happy with it when you're done.

 

^x2 It will look like ****.

 

yea definitely by looking at it i all ready start sanding the bay down and i see i will have to remove the engine... will do it anyway thanks guys... i will remove the engine when i get my new motor mounts that will be a good idea
