Engine

most of my lingerie is pink as is my stockings...:Flower::Flower::Flower:

Now there is a picture I don't want to see...............:sick:


Jennie, when repainting engines I used to clear coat the oil pump to stop it rusting.... I reckon they look crap painted red... but that's just me..:shifty:

I bought my eldest daughter an LX Torana sedan for her first car and painted it bright pink. All our friends knew who drove the car (you could spot it a mile away) and when she broke down one day I got 7 phone calls telling where she was.....and that was even before my daughter rang me:lol: PINK turned out to be a great safety device.

Thanks Absinth, Rodney totally agrees and was going to go black, but clear coat is the way he will go now you say that.....

This may sound silly but.....the oil pump is primed with grease/vasoline/something similar....isn't it?

i harbor no desire to have pink bits coz i already have pink bits..sinbox number plates are pink..
i drove a hq ute for 2 years that was painted strike me pink..must scan a pic of that.

I have a Performance Street Car around here somewhere where it had a Black HG ute, with Pink motor and pink butterflies on the bug catcher. Also had pink wheels.

Hi Jennie, Nice looking 253, did you run an original camshaft or go for somthing a little more performance orientated?
Im in the process of building a 253 myself, mainly for the exercise of building a motor myself. I decided to go for a crow performance street cam, just to make driving it a tad more exiting.....

I pick up the engine in a couple of weeks to get it back to my place... 308 turbo pattern... woohoo! then the work starts.. well actually, somebody will do the work for me.. used to do the stuff myself with my dad, and whilst i don't mind getting my hands dirty, i'll let others do the major work. So from there its finding someone to do the honing - major lips at top of bores, then get the heads decked for gas and then to decide on just what kind of cam... definitely for gas, but hmmmm just how radical do i go???:Chin: will need a dizzy (it doesn't hav one), need radiator and will need the brackets for the air con and power steer and of course, still deciding on auto or manual.... luv driving a manual (got this thing about playing with sticks!) or do I go the easy way out and get an auto??:weights: and then of course the rest of the bits too... should hav enuf $ to get a major part of it done .. unfortunately not in time for the nats unless a miracle happens in the meantime. Ahhhh, the joys of engine building followed by the joys of driving it .... ok, i'll settle down now.
