Looks good. I thought caterpillar yellow was more yellow and less green though?

There are several CAT yellows, mostly "old" Cat yellow and "new" Cat yellow, the switch was somewhere back in the 70's, and I guess a "new, new" CAT yellow, no idea when that came about. Really early equipment was could be "tractor" or "highway" yellow.

CAT Paint Codes.

That looks like "new" to me.

Cummins beige will be better for that. To bad that wasn't what I was thinking when I bought the paint to do mine lol. I was sorta thinking it would look cool. It was between beige and detroit alpine green, but Tractor supply didn't have any. :cry:

Here's my fresh 1.6/1.9 head build...valve cover isn"t finshed, still smoothing it out then will get black with yellow accents

The cat yellow is nice. I woulda saved the injectors for the black paint with the top cover though. still amazingly nice.

update.

I scrubbed all the parts of the pump with Zep orange and a toothbrush and then washed them in the sink under hot water, dried them off with a towel and compressed air and then coated them in Break Free CLP to prevent rust as recommended in the TM9. the pump took one day to clean and build, be sure to get a throttle shaft bushing and a 17mm driveshaft seal.

the correct size to bore a block for kolbenschmidt pistons is written on the piston itself.

http://www.carrilloind.com/Portals/1/Documents/Carrillo_Catalog_Layout_02.pdf

according to Carrillo the correct size to machine the big end bore of the VW connecting rod is: 1.9928" or 50.617mm.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM AUTOPARTSGIANT.COM !!!
