Default engine work and pics

well im finished with the plenum fix and keggar mod, i also painted up a lot of my engine parts and did a tune up, hypertech 180 t stat, MSD 8mm streetfire plug wires, E3 plugs, mopar performance cap and rotor and all felpro gaskets, i had a few snags with the coolant temp sensor and the front left bolt on the intake manifold, i drilled the bolt out and went to tap it and the tap broke inside the whole so i just hoped that it worked and i havent seen any leaks, i sprayed some starter fluid at it while it was running and it didnt bog or rev so i think it will be alright. anyway here are some pics of the finished product.

Looks good. A bit bright for my liking, but clean!

On the Alternator, I thought you couldnt just shoot paint on it because of the wiring inside. Someone told me it would mess with it. It looks like you just shot paint on it with out taking the housing off. Is that true?

i did cover up the ground and plug connecter before i did it, and i didnt shoot the inside just the outside, the the inside of the coils are still unpainted, the outside of the coils dont move and shouldnt hurt it al all, its still charges my system well.

the front left bolt on the intake manifold broke off inside the head, i tried to soak it in wd40 overnight, i heated it up with an oxy acetylene torch and it wouldnt budge, so i drilled it out and went to tap it (a tap it what cuts threads into metal, not assuming you dont know, but just in case) and the tap broke off inside the hole, and since its meant to cut threads into metal its extremly hard, and would be very difficult to drill that out, so i just didnt put the bolt it, and after 30mi still no leaks in the gaskets
