canna Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) depends how far you want to go strip the whole block. head, water pump, oil filter, fuel pump and any thing else i forgot you must clean the block relly well get rid of all the gresse and dirt. or you can mask every thing of that you don't want to paint. make sure you have engine block paint. and have the motor out of the car Edited October 23, 2008 by canna Quote
philbey Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Hot dip cleaning the block cost me ~40 bucks and it was bare. Needs new cam bearings and welsh plugs afterwards though. I used 1200 degree engine paint, but I didn't prime. Next time I think I'll prime it as well to smooth the cast texture out a bit. Quote
