Thread: Pics of my engine tear down dial up user beware

Minichopper Paypals waiting need that request have sent a few pm's

So my block will be in monday and hopefully my intense stuff should be shipped monday They are waiting on my pcm... Plug Wires should be in the mail by tomoro
Pulley puller Should be coming ...
And heads shipped weds so its all coming together

The engine builder actually left a message at the school apoligizing for the cost and time delay I guess they havent delt with the s/c 3.8's much as far as complete rebuilds
Ill have Headbolts and a new stock timing set for sale as soon as i get them aswell
Im pretty sure im going with studs
Should be up and running first week of dec
Ill post assembly pics as they come

Got the block back today So heres where my pics start up again
Decided to paint the block Aluminum color it was either this or red
heres a few pics

What paint did you use?

And did you really paint that without covering the holes in the oil pan?

Yea i really left the lose in the pan uncovered I still have to do some clean up in the block its got a heavy oil coating So paint wont harm it

We have around 17 days left so im going to go real slow triple check every thing and make sure its all 100%
Used this stuff to paint
Did around 5 coats I think it came out pretty good
