while I certainly would like to say "what josh said"....I was lazy any opted to have them sand blasted to get all the oil and grease off, the guy blasting em forgot to tell his employee not to blast the inside, so I painted it to cover it back up....

have some clear going on this week, and getting the motor prepped for paint..

definitely going with black on the bottom end..will look much cleaner for sure!

Mawk I heard if you pull the engine apart and paint the rods to match the truck it will hold more power...

yea but that only works if you paint the inside with color matched bed liner.

yea yea im working on it......I figure that was the easiest way to paint the cylinder walls

Pull the covers off, and get them powder coated...
DON'T ever take a chance on paint sticking to anything inside an engine.

don't worry....parts have been at the coater since yesterday afternoon...I haven't even put the nuts on the studs yet so...was no big deal.

Are you reusing the old studs or putting new ones in?

FWIW, mine are torqued to 225 and well, you know first hand how I like to drive my truck... and all the coolant has stayed where it needs to be for over a year now
