And It Begins..... (pulling motor).. Questions..

BakerFX4 · January 6th, 2012, 07:01 PM

Well I had a couple free hours so I decided to pull everything off my engine and get it ready to snatch out. This time im going to do some painting of my engine prior to it going back in. My 4.75 engine should be getting finished up so might as well use this time to clean it up a bit. My car is now a silver with pearl in it (very sharp color). I want to do some of that on my engine...

Questions....

Valve covers ok to base coat/clear coat?

Timing cover ok to base coat/clear coat?

My polished D1sc headunit is kinda shitty looking so could I base coat/clear coat it or will it get too hot?

Any other ideas? I think ima go with the eddie/6061 combo and if so, I may paint the intake also and leave the 6061 too shine.

Did i mention that I HATE f*cking with these headers? :mad

No kidding? Wanna do some work on mine while your at it too lol..

Froush · January 6th, 2012, 07:26 PM

Yeah the valve covers are ok to base/clear. Im not 100% sure on the timing cover but i honestly dont see why not

F8L GT · January 6th, 2012, 07:27 PM

Baker, everything you mentioned is fine to base coat/ clear coat. Just make sure you clean them up really well to get the oil and grim off them

god baker, you and i are back at it again. my motor goes under the knife later in the winter once i source out pistons. never ending story

CobraStang161 · January 6th, 2012, 07:33 PM

Use prepsol to clean them.

number1gt · January 6th, 2012, 07:55 PM

+1. i really think the timing cover will make the biggest difference. i should have painted mine when the motor was out

you keeping te stock composite valve covers or going with something different?? i always had a liking for the BBK aluminum ones.

BakerFX4 · January 6th, 2012, 08:52 PM

The headunit gets pretty hot at times. Im thinking it should be fine though. Ill get it the rest of the way out in the morning. It is really too easy pulling these motors. Lol

jkolbfleisch · January 6th, 2012, 09:33 PM

Is your D1SC polished or Satin? It's not that hard to polish to a nice shine.

They make special high-temp paint for valve covers/engines with base and clear coats.

BakerFX4 · January 6th, 2012, 09:35 PM

Polished. It may could be polished back out. Ill try that first but if its not 100 the. F that.

bandity2k00 · January 6th, 2012, 10:52 PM

You have a romeo timing cover baker..not windsor..thats why your running the Y shape bracket like me and eagle in your other thread

ytngt · January 6th, 2012, 10:55 PM

Hey man, just let me know if you need a hand pulling teh motor.

bandity2k00 · January 6th, 2012, 10:57 PM

Do right first.time and easier and cheaper lol. Now you painting engine bay and everything like mine. Every peice on my car was re painted and every bolt and shed weight and shit. Thats why i took so long and lost intrest alot. You cant copy me with intake. Thats a law suit waiting to happen

BakerFX4 · January 6th, 2012, 11:47 PM

Bandit ur still gay regardless!

Thanks john. Not too much left and got a bud comin over in the morning so it shouldnt take long.

bandity2k00 · January 6th, 2012, 11:53 PM

Lol well you got a romeo. Not windsor

BakerFX4 · January 7th, 2012, 12:10 AM

No the fuck i dont. I Know my shit has dowel pins and an 8 bolt crank. Ive been in there before. I have romeo heads.

Shaun03GT · January 7th, 2012, 12:38 AM

LOL!

The windsor block (99-01) comes with a 3 bolt timing cover (in 99) and a 1 bolt timing cover (in 00-01)

So that doesnt matter, each one will work on whatever block. But the 3 bolt timing cover is better
