Whooohooo Z22 fresh off the truck courtesy of the great guy HRH Doin a nice walk around and makin sure there is no damaged goods Up on some blocks.. as I dont have a stand yet.. TIME TO START PULLING IT APART! Few more parts off Annnnd there goes the oilpan Ewwwwwwy. Anyone for some chocolate syrup? Dropped down. now for those damn freeze plugs.. one always has to be a pain in the ass.. Yoink! there goes the crank Now its ready to go to the powdercoater! what color you think? figured id get the teardown out of the way in the first thread as it is kinda boring, also on a side note got a new phone so the pictures will get alot better from here out.

RedBanner Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 my mom said if your going to powder coat it , you need to spend a couple hours grinding the unneeded ugly stuff off. i dont care, but shes livid, and local :lol: Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 im sayin powder coat it white, and black, zebra striped yo! Quote Link to comment
NKrader Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 LOL Zebra.. im thinking more a color that you would find in a highlighter box. Like so so many colors so little time.. http://boneheadperfo...m/color-charts/ Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Do it in the original L series blue. The blue looks bad ass in any car. 1 Quote Link to comment
NKrader Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think it looks to much like ford blue.. although I do like that texture ford blue for some reason Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I vote for highlighter pink, just for the shits and giggles 2 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 love that green! 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 What color is the car? Nothing like a red block in a green car. Perhaps something neutral that will go with anything? What about if it gets sold or goes in another car... will it look retarted? Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 gold? In green car? Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I wouldn't store your crank like that. I hope it hasn't been sitting like that since July 28th or longer. I would go with standard black for the block.. but it's not my engine. Do whatever you want. Quote Link to comment
NKrader Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I wouldn't store your crank like that. I hope it hasn't been sitting like that since July 28th or longer. I would go with standard black for the block.. but it's not my engine. Do whatever you want. Not using that crank. But it is in bubble wrap so it doesn't droop much. I actually don't mind block being different color than car, think it gives the car character. I guess to each their own. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 The proper way to store it is to stand it up on the trans side. But if you are not using it.. no worries I guess. Quote Link to comment
dirty-mik3 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 oh god, do the green or pink with a black and white zebra print valve cover. PLEASE. or you could do the four loko camo print for the valve cover and a pink block? IMO it would be original af but it'd get dirty super easy, +you might get a ton of shit for having a fanboy looking engine :ninja: in case you dont know the four loko pattern im talking about its the green one :thumbup: : Quote Link to comment

NKrader Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Looks like they shipped it to you upside-down, eh. shit, he sent me the Australian l timing cover.??..?? :D also on a side note, is it normal for the channel thing in the waterpump spot to have small sections worn out of it.??
