I'm hoping to get started Friday night or Saturday.  I'm helping a fellow local L  owner with his 1st plug change on Staurday morning too.

Here a shot of the painted shortblock it's all going on...

Yeah - I noticed it was sharting to peel on one lobe. Is was like " [smilie=eek4.gif]WTF" when I first opened that package!! I intend to peel it off before I drop them in.

Thanks for the props on the block guys - I think it turned out pretty bitchin! That's the same color (minus the texture) that I did on my valve covers several weeks back. I masked everything off (VERY tedious) so that there was still some color contrast on the freeze plugs and cros bolts and so that the gasket and mating surfaces stayed clean.

I've got some closer shots of the heads if you're interesed - I need to learn how to resize them though.

I'm hoping it's going to be bad-ass, I've been waiting long enought so far.

Looks like I may be in for a name change...

Later,
Smokin Herb

Come on down - I've got an open invite for helpers/designated drinkers . I've got another local L (Scott) coming by Saturday and we're doing his plugs too.

man i wish i could make the trip down, but it is a little far and i got to start a new job next week

 

[herb101]

That is a bit of a stretch of the legs Mike!

I'll just bug the hell out of you all weekend and it'll feel like you're here

I'll keep the pics coming - especially now that I'm learning how to resize and stuff (obviously not on THIS post).

Good luck with the new gig next week [smilie=fingersx.gif]
