Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

When I saw you were painting the valve covers yellow too, I found your profile pic very fitting lol

The argument for the block was that you don't really see much of it anyway. Well the front valve cover is pretty visible lol

Finally learned what table modifier is, and I like it :) Trims are sooo much better. Now that I can go wot knock free, I've noticed I have a miss. What is a good plug gap for my setup? Think I gapped the 104's at .55.

Edit: SD I like the color scheme now. First pics you posted made it look like pastel yellow, something you would paint a nursery in lol. New pics look mucho better. Kinda makes me want to go till a field, but that's cool too. :)
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

try gaping em at 0.50.



you need to remember, you cant see 90% of a engine when its installed in the car. once the headers are on you'll hardly see the block or pan ever again.

just my attempt at being different. red and black was not gonna happen. its what almost everyone does.

I'll try that.

Now you're just hitting below the belt. Red/black is where its at man. Actually I started painting mine before I joined the forum, now all the red/black I see is starting to wear on me. May need a makeover. Hmmm, scarlet and grey? Russosaur, your thoughts? :)
