Thought I would do something different.

Just needs the red plug leads ? anyone know where I can find them... and to be cleaned and touched up in a couple of places.

Also changed the studs in the tappet cover for black allen key bolts, just not in this picture

just keep it in your living room as a coffee table (make sure people use coffee mats though!) - you wouldn't want to dirty it by putting it in an engine bay with all that horrible oil and fuel

It's a process called Power Kote... it's kinda like Powder Coating. it's just heat resistant

In this pic the motor is no where near done... notice no fuel rail :p or nothing holding the tappet cover down :p

:mad:

Thanks for all the good words guys... I would have liked 2 put the Motorsport striping on the Tappet Cover aswell, kinda Like the Evo 2, but Icouldn't find the colours in high heat paint... adnI was worried it might flake.

Oh, the exhaust is chromed, with same process that they use on Choppers and Customs... we will see if it holds out, cause they actually 2 small for my exhaust ports, so I plan on changing them in the future
