The most important thing that needs to be done correctly. And you can quote me because I am an expert in this field. The paint HAS to be and no other alternative is acceptable !! It has to be BLUE !! Any flack for this statement can be directed elsewhere because I am right ! NO !!! Dont even bother with the reply button I AM right !!!

Wheres my beer !

I would have to agree all my engines for the last 25 years have been blue, except of course the mini ones green and standard triumph ones black lmfao

Hmmmm...............Feeling a bit feisty today are we

I know you said that you are an expert in the field.........But how are you with car engines

One thing for sure, it seems that only the Blue engine paint appears to be up to the job these days
The Red & Black that I have tried over the last couple of years, for want of better words, have been crap !!??

Zetec with satin black case and Pure Orange powdercoated cam cover to match fabby's bodywork! Looks fast anyway!

Hmm - I was thinking of satin black sump, red block and head then either satin black or polished finish to the cam cover. Although I'm now starting to ponder about a silver block. The mechanical stuff is easy, its the arty stuff that is more challenging

Oww and while having breakfast this morning I started day dreaming about black thin spoke alloys with gold calipers poking through
