engine re-paint, silver

[red98]

Bit more progress this evening.removed front engine mount, oil cooler and cam cover.......next job is to mask everything and start prepping the surface...

[red98]

Sanded the cam cover today, just needs a rub over with some panel wipe and then all 4 covers will be ready for paint, just about to order new gaskets, was going to start masking tonight but its been a long day at work today and tomorrows going to be worse  :\......roll on the weekend 

[red98]

Ordered clutch and alternator cover gaskets,£11.33 delivered, wemoto,.....cant find timing cover gasket though, started another thread for that

When I removed my timing cover to fit an ignition advancer I just used a small amount of gasket paste when I refitted it.

[unfazed]

Wonder how it would look with black covers and a silver engine?  :eek

[red98]

Funny you should say that UNFAZED...the round plug in the timing cover is rubber/plastic and I dont really want to paint it, its just starting to flake on the edges, hardly noticeable but I know its there  :rolleyes  so was thinking of stripping the silver off and leaving it black.........might work...



instant gasket it is then for the timing cover  :thumbup


no work on the fazer today, started work at 7 this morning and only just got in.....time to chill

not black but dark enough to get the idea

[red98]

Mmmmmm, not bad, I have a black frame which I think will help...

busy with other things at the weekend so no fazer fiddling, did have a hour in the garage tonight though and made a start on the masking.

[red98]

Bought a few bits and pieces on the way home tonight, a bit more masking and blasted , cleaned and painted the front engine mount to give me a bit of motivation to get the job done 

[slimwilly]

Oh hell :eek  come on !!!! get going,,how long,zzzzzzzzzzz,,it's worse than watching paint dry,,except you have not painted it yet  :lol :lol :lol :lol

Going back to sleep :evil

[Tmation]

It would have been quicker and easier to have pulled the engine out than do all that masking up  :eek

[red98]

:lol :lol :lol .......masking now finished ,wire brushed front of engine,should be painted by the end of the weekend 

[slimwilly]

Doh  :\ :'(,, no paint to look at yet,,,just writing my Christmas card list,won't be long now  :lol :lol :lol

[red98]

I didn't say which weekend  :lol...have you read my "stuttering thread " ?..... :rolleyes

[red98]

Up early this morning, finisned sanding the block, scotchbright pad all over, bit more masking and I think all the hard work is now done, next is to give it a blow down and a wipe over with some panel wipe ....should have some paint on later today, ill post a piccie so SLIMWILLY can watch it dry  :lol

will give the garage a quick tidy before I start, why I have to completely empty my tool box and spread the contents over the floor to do a simple job ill never know  :o
