Tap the coolant holes and I will plug
Ported the coolant passage ways
It was fairly easy. Here is a good write-up on it by BillBoost

I know, I have not been around in a while, but it seems like something always comes up, that is more important, when I'm about to work on her.
Anyways, I painted some parts anodized Metallic Blue. By the way this is my first time painting car parts and yes I know I should of hung the parts up, it probably would of looked a lot better. I had some dripage in some spots. Some over spray on other parts, etc... I did this outside because I had no where else to do it. It was real windy out there and it made it a little more difficult to spray 6 inches away, so sprayed a little closer to the parts and it started some dripping. Overall, I learned a lot on spraying car parts in this process.
Some suggestions, if you consider doing this.
1. Hang your parts, it makes the job a whole lot easier because you can get a good spray all the way around the part without having to wait for one side to dry and then flipping it over and doing the other side. Also, you can get even coats of paint, which will be better as you can imagine.
2. Where a respirator or dust mask! You don't want rainbow burgers...Lmao. You don't want to inhale the paint unless you want to get super high. Seriously, just think about, if spray paint got in your lungs. Just a thought! I was hacking up blue paint because I wasn't wearing my respirator. My American Bulldog chew it up into pieces...Lol.
3. Do your spraying projects inside/indoors because of wind, debris and other particles that may be floating around can effect the overall look of your projects. For those of you that don't know, TRUST ME!
