Green engine paint?

[Powered by Spearco]

All that gasser stuff is JUST FOR MOK UP. Its used to judge clearance of hood, firewall and shift linkage.
Yes its a getto strap, what else would I use for quick checks. The strap is holding up the intake. The pump is mounted to the engine mount plate and yes the block is a gasser one too  .
I don't have another diesel block to use for said clearance's.

yes sir. found it at checkers auto parts. also dont worry i cleaned up all bolt holes/ sealing surfaces of paint.

When I paint a block, I run a short bolt and a washer down tight into each bolt-hole, and use blue painter's tape to mask off the sealing surfaces.

I also have a spare oil pan that's four different colours, since I put that on to protect that sealing surface.

what paint color did you end up using, and is it available as a spray can, like at an auto parts store?

Anyone know where I can buy Caterpillar Yellow paint? The guy I'm fixing the Dasher up for is a Caterpillar nut... I think it'd be fun to work up his engine in that colour and not tell him. :p

edit: Be looking specifically for "Old" yellow, or caterpillar colour code C106A, I think.

also i have a pad i can put on my dye grinder to take the paint of all the surfaces and it's rubber so it doesn't take off any of the metal.
