I've pulled my motor back up to fix the oil pan and clean up the engine bay, get some things powder coated.. yadda...



Here's some pictures so far. Just waiting for the powder coater to call me.

I'll update as I slowly progress, since the powder coater is needing 2 weeks time.

 

I undercoated now, mostly due to the acid damage from two Optima batteries leaking all over.

 

what all you getting powder coated? do you run rotella in your truck or were those bottles for something else, lookin good though. i am dredding putting mine back up on the jackstands!!! o and where did mr.Fluffly come from if you dont mind me asking? i have always wondered....

 

The valve covers and oil pan are getting coated.


Yes, I use Rotella, I have a flat-tappet cam and need the zinc.



Fluffy is a nickname from the car guys. I offered them a chance to pick my plate for last year. I'm a good sport about it.. lol

 

Cool! I bought one of the powerd coating kits for around 150. It Beats waiting for it,It made my engine bay look good. How did your opitmas leak! I have had mine for 5yrs or longer and abuse them I even have one mouted sideways! I have never heard of any of them leak!

 

Wow awesome looking truck. I have a question for you. I bought the K&N air filter that drops into the stock air cleaner box. And I noticed that on your pic 003-1 that you have the mopar performance air cleaner. Will the KNN-E-1100 air filter fit in the MP air cleaner?

Thanks

No idea, but both of them did more damage then they're worth combined. Supposed to be a sealed battery. I had to repaint my wheel well, my battery tray was eating, frame, dripped down to other things. Damaged the fuse box, wiring, spark wires, etc... Really didn't make me too happy.

 

Thanks..



The MP lids are13-15in diameter.. The link you posted says only 9.


Mine isn't the MP cleaner. It's very few were made and it's discontinued due to CnC costs.

This is a picture of the MP cleaner lids...

Right now my base is 14in and the cleaner lid is 15in. I'll change it one day.

 

rotella is some good stuff, makes since to run it with the flat tappet.

 

I just use castrol HD 10-30 with my flat lifter 360. was that the optima 6 pack or whatever it is? , they're junk.
