It's interesting that they painted right over the exhaust manifold mounting surface, but masked off the fuel pump mounting surface. Also, I wonder what they put over the fan clutch mount on the water pump to keep paint off of that?
I've seen that first picture a bunch and always wonder what this engine has been through. Not only the valve cover grime, but also the hose mounting locations on the timing cover and waterneck. Is this just from the short run in on the assembly line?
