GritHound Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 Got the Engine broken down and getting it ready for the machine shop next week. I can't believe how clogged the lifters were, I'm guessing very little oil was making its way around the head and he never changed the oil. I used the old damper to create a 10mm spacer for the 4.2L snout. Worked out well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GritHound Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Picked up the head from the machine shop was able to get it back together this week. I decided to go ahead an paint it so I could see how the coloring would turn out. I'm picking up the block next week so hoping to get the engine put together and painted this month. I'm liking the metallic burnt orange color can’t wait to see once completed. Thought I would take a couple of closeups. You have clean these covers thoroughly before painting. The pits collect oil and will birds eye your paint. 500° Primer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
