OMG! ENGINE WORK!

 

 

well the exhaust shop that fixed my exhaust neglected to put all but one of the collector bolts back on and it came off on the free lastnight :rolleyes: so while I as fixing that I decided to do some other work Iv been putting off while I was at it.

 

 

 

 

Iv tryed not to crack into the L16 anymore than I have to since its my A-B car, but ever since Iv owned it its burned oil from the valve seals and I finally got around to getting it and a few other things done.

 

yanked the head.

 

 

 

engine will get a major clean up while Iv got everything off lol

 

 

pulling everything to replace the seals.

 

 

 

 

and a perfect time to paint the cam cover :lol:

 

right off the head.

 

 

a bit of a cleaning.

 

 

prime.

 

 

and some wrinkle black :D

 

 

soon as its cured Ill sand the ridges and text and give em a polish :cool:

 

painting up the cap too ;)

I like the sound of that. I've never done any work inside an engine. Never even taken a head off. What cool about you Skibby is you are artistic and mechanical. I still have a lot to learn on the latter.
