More overspray More overspray on the intake manifold, bypass water hose and rocker cover gaskets (the rocket covers will be replaced later by the proper finned aluminium covers... |

Overspray pattern Notice the overspray on the intended intake manifold. I'm unsure the rubber plug for the danger fumes channel towards the air intake of the fuelie unit should have received the orange overspray??? |

Engine painting Also this weekend I could finally paint spray the engine. First of all the fuelie unit and intake manifold were masked to avoid overspray in unintended areas.
Since I sprayed it first with an ever so thin layer of primer and then with casting colored paint, I could finalise it with only thin layer of orange (like they did in the factory). Some area's hardly received any paint (like the under side of the oilpan, behind the exhaust manifolds, and behind the waterpump). Also the bypass hose and the edge of the intake manifold received (on purpose) some overspray to mimic the way the factory sprayed the engine in the good old days... |
