Okay, block and head got 2 coats of primer and some nice engine paint. I ordered Lancelot Turquiose, and am trying to decide if it's really Lancelot Turquise, or the newer color (it has a lot of blue in it). That's beside the point. Block, head, air cleaner and valve cover are primed and painted. I was looking at the intake manifold. Most of it is bare aluminum. But there is a tiny bit that has paint on it. Question is - does the intake manifold get sanded clean, or does it get primed and painted? (now I know for sure the engine was rebuilt previously. All the pistons are stamped 03 - so I'm guessing they're all .030 over.) Hoping to sew it up tomorrow, so if you know - give a shout. I think a bare aluminum look would be cool, but painted would be fine as well. _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
