Very nice, that engine bay looks new. I painted my block that colour when I rebuilt it.

gee I'm old enough to remember the old Bill Bixby TV version (the 1st time it was on tv).... that's the origin of that line...
Bill Bixby (as Bruce Banner) to "investigative" reporter McGee character...
"Mr. McGee don't make me angry... You would'nt like me when I'm angry."

Simple would be nice!

Looks good, to bad it would clash with my truck

I've gotten into the habit of burying myself in Satuday/Weekend projects.

this weekend I was going to swap the head, cam, chain, and stuff, It's still tore apart at the shop cuase I found a problem with the cam.

It'll be at least Tuesday before it gets back on the road.

standardbyker88 - What do you use to detail your engine compartment. It looks great.

Thats funny just painted my valve cover the same color green last weekend. Ialso did the timing chain cover, waterpump and oil pump too. I figured that if i had it all apart for the head gasket I might as well have some fun with the spray can.
