Mr. G. Brettin's Slow Motion Leg Hump

gbrettin · 03-16-2021, 09:47 AM

My machinist buddy brought a special bit to the shop and had the hole cleared up in about 5min. 100% worth having him do it. Time vs Skill trade off there. So all that means that I could put the head on and torque it down.

Next move was to put in studs. I cut the head off some bolts and then found out that 30mm was not nearly long enough. I hopped on Amazon and ordered 60mm. The extra length can easily be adjusted down into the head. I can patiently wait for that vs cutting off heads on bolts. One bolt disappear because the cutting disk had a small break and then shot into my chest and rolled off somewhere. I of course was wearing gloves, face shield and safety glasses which helped. Soooooooo, that may have influenced the decision too. lol

After having the engine back together, it looks like the yellow/green on the block isn't overpowering for an accent color. More importantly, it IS an accent color not dominating the entire view. What do you guys think? Too much? Keep in mind I have one more yellow/green item going up top on the valve cover, the smart coil bracket.

My vision is to get Varis Arising 2 side skirts and have a small section of that painted Yellow Green. Only a thin section on the image below. Yeah... I think about this stuff way too much.
