Took this last night...ran out of gaskets for the rocker carriers, so I called it a night.

Check out the chromoly push rods, and the ceramic coated pistons.:snoop:

I hate to even cover them up now...LOL

Nope...It's Chevrolet Orange!:poke:

I can't stand black for an engine color. (If I did paint it black, what is it, Chevy Black, Dodge black, or Ford black?)

And I love the way Orange looks with aluminum, braided stainless steel lines, black accents, and some chrome.

I like orange, you don't have too.:Cheer:

You might see me there, but I prolly won't be racing...

There was a mis-communication between a couple of vendor's on what was to be done to my turbo when I sent it in for an up-grade.:doh:

And since I just got it back on Friday afternoon, opened it up, found the mistake, and called them about it...turns out the States have a long weekend, so nothing can be done till Monday anyways.

I just hope that we can get another turbo within a week.:pop:
 
Couple more with the heads painted, and the intake, and valve covers set on for the picture.

Notice the fittings in the back of the heads, and the modified intake. (Balance port removed.)

Yip...did so.

Not quite together yet, but I had some other guy's wondering why the heads weren't painted, so I thought I may as well show it with the heads painted, and the covers on it.

I can't wait to get it going...I need a truck to pull the holiday trailer with. (And the wife is kinda pissed now that I have to get another turbo, or send mine back again...):doh:
 
I know all about the pain of telling the wife you need something else for a very expensive toy. LOL

I don't dislike the color of your engine, just poking some fun. Apparently, my color blindness is getting worse, even in cyber world.

Right now, it's drier than a popcorn fart!LOL

The wife and kids want to go camping with the new trailer, and I'm trying to get it all together, so we can enjoy the summer together.:woohoo:

I know. No problem...I knew someone would have to rub it in a little bit...LOL

I really like the color combination of orange, black, and aluminum.
