Second Chance

[NVW]

Really makes me want some mint chocolate chip ice cream. Looks cool. I just never can seem to paint an engine anything but black u less it's a restoration. Then I still think it should be black.

I saw on here where someone painted the waterpump and timing cover silver to match the aluminum timing housing, so I did it to mine when I had it apart last time. It still bugs me, want to paint it back to black.
I'm broken in the nogin, huh?

I know what you mean Will, I like contrast, but not a black engine. Can't see the leaks. This is from last year, the new one will have a few changes.

It looks better than black, I'm just color paranoid or something on engines. I used to do black block and heads then everything else chrome, Over that now.

Ratman got me started on the CAT Yellow color scheme.

Paint it black. Paint it black. Sounds like you've got the Rolling Stones on your mind, Will!

Oh crap, looking at mine has me singing "Coat of Many Colors" by Dolly Parton

It's coming together, sorry about the blurry pics. The glow plugs seat about an 1/8" more in the Chinese heads than in the GM heads. Was kind of worried threading them in. There are some plugs that have a longer shank, I don't know which ones they are.

 

[Will L.]

Did you remember the antisieze on the injectors and glow plugs?

 

[Husker6.5]

Your motor is more like "It's Not Nice Being Green" by Kermit the Frog!

Always Will.

Got a few more things done this morning.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, it's getting close.

 

[n8in8or]

Lookin' good Leo!

 

[Husker6.5]

As long as that light at the end of the tunnel isn't on the locomotive coming at you!

 

[NVW]

Lookin' good Leo!

Thanks Nate.

I had an extra plug from the harness that was free, I tried all day to think of what I missed. Finally I remembered the stepper motor.

 

[ak diesel driver]

Nice!

It's becomming a Mean, Green Turbo Machine!

See! Ds4 giving you problems already. Never to late to convert.

It won't be too mean, unless I change my mind it will stay stock.

 

[Husker6.5]

Well Stock, Green Turbo Machine just doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

No it doesn't, time will tell. A truck just over 1/2 the weight of my 95 may give me some desire to enhance it.
