Small update for today: Got the head and block decked, which was done in only 2 hours to my surprise. 🙂 Head isn’t fully cleaned yet as there is still some pesky carbon which I just wont stand to have. haha Block has still yet to be painted a nice matte black.

Some small progress lately. I have the front timing covers painted (only bottom shown), I can’t seem to grasp what the actual colour looks like with this camera. Looks dope IMO in person. Entire engine gasket kit, piston rings, and accessory belts ordered from FRSport today and should arrive very soon.

No, they are all actually way off from the real colour. haha It’s weird to look at. Any change in light does dramatic changes to the colour. It’s a candy over chrome. ---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ---------- Ok…WTF is this 20 minute edit shit?

So its been about 2 weeks since I last updated this and ALOT has been done. Bottom end is completely assembled and so is the head. I took a pic of it mostly test fitted to see how the colour scheme is going to look. Semi-gloss black on that purple is awesome. Shipping crate was made today and getting ready to slap the head on and all the rest of the accessories. It’s all starting to really come together and not much more work until she’s done!
