Hello all,
I need some info. on detailing my '66 engine after re-assembly.
My car is an un-restored original with one repaint so I'm not looking for perfect-perfect concourse correct. I also freshened the engine bay while it was empty.
I've studied numerous engine pics and all are slightly different.
My basic question is what bolt-ons were on the long block when it was painted originally at the factory. My long-block is now together on the stand ready for finish assembly and paint. I'm unsure what was painted on the block and what was pre-painted and then bolted on showing unpainted bolts and gaskets.
Parts in question:
- Intake, Oil Pan, Timing Cover, Water Pump, and balancer.
Most of the balancers I've seen have been black but I've also seen them blue as well.
Any help would be appreciated and I can post pics if interested of the build-up and end result for the other novices like myself.<img src=images/icon_smile_shy.gif border=0 align=middle>
