That's what I painted my 12V with. Looked good for about a year. Should last a long time with good prep (which I did not do)

I'm surprised it lasted that long. One rusty bolt and one tiny exhaust leak and that white is totally screwed.

All parts blasted separate or after engine was put together? I assume the "sealant" stage was some sort of primer on the freshly blasted cast iron?
I wan to do the motor in my truck. But I want to take every belt, hose and wire off so that no paint gets where it shouldn't. But it will drive me nuts if any rust starts to shown through. Granted it only gets driven in the summer and not through the salt.

I powdercoated mine. Fingerprints wipe off like glass. Did block, head, front structure, girdle, flywheel housing. Anything I thought would survive in the oven.

This started like this
It was completely dissassembled. I used walnut shell for blasting. Then it was cleaned and sealed over the bare metal.

The common rail 3406 blocks are powder coat. They look as you said, wipe down = new
This brings up a good discussion, I just took my bare cummins block to be water jett'd to remove the factory powder coat. Do you guys have something you feel safe with using? Like the walnut shells?

That is gorgeous! But requires a full tear down and removal from the truck. I'm not at that point yet. Ha ha
Mine will be done in the truck. Most likely just needle scaled where I can.

Wire wheel in a grinder works good too. Just wipe it down as good as you can with some paint prep cleaner. It's really hard to beat Caterpillar's own spray paint. Covers good, cleans good, easy to match when things need touched up. We color matched a few to the truck and I won't do it to any of mine again. Looks good at first but goes downhill fast.
I did a little needle scaling (pawned a lot of it off on a friend) and if I never have to touch that god awful contraption again I will be happy.

Fukk around...that's a bit more than a little.
You're not going to offer frame de-scaling as a service?

And to think this was a perfectly good truck before I tore it hell. Drove perfectly here from Denver CO, backed it in the shop and I tore it apart.
Day I picked it up.
Few days after I got back.
Anyone want these goofy ass wheels?

Just out of curiosity, do you know what it weighed complete?

I kninda like the wheels. Are they KW specific? I like the truck too. Assuming it was a cm2250 originally, what's involved in the swap? Sweet ride though
