Bump. So after re-soda blasting it yet again, I removed the spare head/jugs I had on it, wire-wheeled it a bunch and pretty much soaked it in acetone before paint. Same paint was used, just with no primer this time and very light coats. Seems to be holding up pretty good so far. Re-ringed and cleaned the pistons along with a hone job on the jugs and started with the assembly.
