detailed my engine... a few pics! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kookykrispy · 01-03-2009, 11:20 PM

I took advantage of the long 4 day weekend to completely detail every square inch of my engine, staying as close to 100% bone stock as possible. I removed everything I could without pulling the engine, painstakingly cleaned and painted every part with hi-temp paint, and then reassembled. Keep your truck all GM!

It's amazing how much difference some heavy duty cleaning and a little bit of paint makes! I need to change some leaky gaskets and do mine! ...Joe
