Engine rebuild in a can (pics)

[Poppn]

Decided that while everything is off the engine for the cam swap that I would try and paint the block and whatnot. I think it turned out pretty well considering the engine is still in the car

Before:





After:





I still got a ways to go (like painting the rest of the engine bay!) but that's all I did for today

It's dirty as all hell right now, but here it is...



i took care of the overspray on the engine mounts and such, and gave the bay a light coat of black

Y2KpewterSS is gonna be jealous as hell!




Seriously though- big improvement man! If you could do something about that plastic overflow can it would be even better but those don't clean up very well. Maybe take it off, drain it and spray something inside it to clean it- something harsh.
