Brush on engine paint?

One trick I use for painting in the garage during cold weather is to put a space heater near the object that I’m painting and just let it warm to between 65-75 degrees. While it’s warming up, soak...

That was triple checked before assembly, but thanks GT. I’m pretty sure it’s either a front plug or the oil pump because I was so meticulous putting this motor together. It all went together so...

All I can say is that I did inspect the cam bearings for fit and alignment before I installed the cam. Seemed to be lined up just fine. Cam spun smoothly with no tight spots or other issues. ...

Sounds like a lot of fun to drive just like it is! I’m sure you catch the Mopar and Ford guys by surprise when they see a Qjet and cast iron manifolds under the hood. Love it.
