the guy i bought it from was going to turbo it, he cut away at the block so the turbo would fit, if thats what you are refering to. and then i guess he thought it would rust so he painted it?
im gonna clean it up, its kinda a hack job, and remove all the spray paint.

oh, the guy also tossed what he said was a 9.5 lb clutchmasters flywheel, so ill be puting that up in the forsale section

i guess i didnt get any before pics, but the valve cover was spray painted black, i already stripped it down to repaint it.

ill get some pics up once thats finished

 

[DailyDB8]

what color did you paint it?

im painting it like this, i actualy showed the guy how to do this and then he made the how to. but i learned it from someone on this site, cant remeber the user name though. he did it on his ls valve cover and i did it on mine.
the guy in the green shirt is my brother

why would it be zip tied though?


also what are your guys opinions on what i should do while i still have this motor out.
i already ordered a timing belt/water pump kit, oil pan and vavle cover gaskets, cap and rotor, tyep r oil pump, and a front main seal.

i wondering it i should pull the head off to look inside, but that would cost me like 200 bucks for the gasket and new head studs. but they might be good to replace anyway?

That was dumb of him to paint the block, I don't know about cutting away at it, but those are aluminum blocks and aluminum is pourest and needs to breath, if you paint it that fills the pours in and will cause problems. But if it's just that little section it shouldn't make that much of a deal i guess.
