Looks good! Do you plan on painting / powder coating the engine while you have it out of the frame? Would seem a shame not to! Redo emblems or keep un-badged?

I Want to but never painted an engine..
Do i need special primer?
Or maby no primer and heat resistant paint?

I have to do it from a spraycan. I cannot ( do not want) to move the eingine to the paintboot 10 miles a way.

Do i mask the bolts and line's or yust paint is all?
Zilver , black or red?
un-badged

for painting the engine, you need to strip the existing paint on the engine using a paint stripper (I used aircraft remover) and then yes, you will need to use a special high-heat paint. I used a spray can type from a company called VHT, painted the whole engine black except for a few bits of chrome

VHT is a good product.not sure if you can find it over there but any high heat engine paint should work
