And decided to do some painting







For those of you interested in whats under the valve cover (thats the red thingy in the pics above) here you go

 

What kind of paint did you use? I am assuming Hi Heat of some kind lol.

 

I used the high temp duplicolor. You actually don't need to use high temp paint on the engine. I painted my chevy's engine with a regular rattle can and everything was just fine. This engine is eventually going to be all red just like the ISX. Not sure if it is going to stay that color red, I think I want it a little darker. I just happened to have some red from another project laying around.

 

nice, you going to paint the letters black?

 

Yep, waiting to see if I liked this color first, it's starting to grow on me now. That bright red really stand out, I think it'll look good.

 

Damn - I was just commenting on another thread about crazy friends doing this...Yikes, do I know you?
It sure looks good! I suspect we'll see a lot of folks doing this on those cold winter days when it's too cold to do anything else constructive...

 

It was raining and I didn't feel like changing my oil in the mud (truck wont fit in the garage) plus it was cheap The rest of the engine is too dirty to paint. I'll have to steam it off at work.

 

Head/valvetrain looks spotless[sm=Flahssssss.gif]

 

I think I'll Run the overhead next weekend if I pull the cover off to paint the lettering. It's only got 86,000 on it, but what the heck

 

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! I was gettin ready this weekend to do mine 06 so im goin to remove the plastic cover ,strip , prime and paint cummins blue ,then paint the letters silver andthen couple coats of clear. I think im goin to use hi heat cus all the chemicals and spilled oil and i dont want it to ruin the paint,i will send pics as soon as im done.Also cool blue hoses and intercooler hoses and cool blue silicone intake hose. I think im goin silver,and blue for the theme!!
