How did you clean the block, head and intake manifold? Were they sand blasted? Are they sealed in anyway (clear coated)?

Steam cleaned the block, degreased it... Degreased it again, red scotched the whole thing, cleaned it about 4 times, masked bits and pieces, metal cleaned it, acid etched it, primed it, sprayed with direct gloss black 2k (wet on wet the paint process)

Have used this method on my corvette motor and countless others without it ever delaminating...

I'll have a look. Someone on trade me. But now I have someone who can have them laser cut which I can organise if ya want (use mine as a template)

Yeah, but why don't you tell these viewers what fine 90s specimen you get to work on
