 Motor paint job
Here's a few pics. My motor was loosing paint so I started stripping paint and getting ready for a gloss black finish. Disconnected a few parts and hit those individually and now I depressed the whole motor and new paints going on soon.

 Re: Motor paint job

 Re: Motor paint job
Overall good job, looks great - wouldn't not painting the oil cooler improve it's efficiency? even stripping it to raw to improve efficiency?

 Re: Motor paint job
I mean no paint on it at all - kind of like taking your coat off when working outside, same principal.

 Re: Motor paint job
I don't think paint matters on the oil cooler, it's all about the surface area and can't see paint being an insulator. Now if you gobbed some oil based on there until you filled in the fins, then you'd have a problem.
