Pimp JAM.

Hehe. Next we'll see Anton in gold chains and gold rings.

Seriously, what was the rationale behind the new rings? Were they glazed?

Did you give the block another hone?

Whe is JAM going back on the dyno? :D

yer, but then he will have a mark where the bracket was, and if its sprayed then a brushed finish might kill the look a little

good colour though

My bracket (now gold, haha) only touches the head under 2 of the head nuts. You won't see it. :wink:

I know some one who has a white mini motor. got to have some balls to do that.
Im about to start using the por 15 eninge enamels as i have had good reports about them and they also are as hard as nails when dry.unlike the other stuff.

One of the old reconditioning firms used to paint their engines gold.
Wasn't Higginbottom or repco from memory, but one of those type of places.

I think the one colour will be too much gold, but individual tastes as someone said.

I'm guessing its in and running now. Will we see it on the 27th?
