I couldn't remember who went with that color and it was Whee! 

My brain is relieved for a minute...

Your brain took a wheee?  

Was that wrong?  It feels wrong.

Cliff, you need to keep your library more organized. The Dui Decimal System is outdated.

They made a newer classification for me and my friends, 1,000 to 1,999.

EDIT: There HE is! 

So I'm #1 and you're #2. That makes @wal280z #3? There's four Wayouts, @240260280 maybe?

We actually have the correct engine block color. Years ago we took an unmolested part to one of our paint suppliers and had them match color and save the formula. I have the paint in single stage for brush-on (or HVLP) and they also make spray cans. We've painted blocks both ways and I find it easiest to brush-on the block and spray parts like pulleys, brackets, and idler parts. IDK if I'm ready to sell and ship block paint, but not painting a block in stock Datsun Blue is one of my OCD triggers...

I'm too tall to be a member of the band, but maybe I could be the manager?

I guess I'm IN with the OUT crowd

 

How about we cover "Far Out" rather than "Way Out"?

It was a loooooong time ago that I saw that episode. Despite all the abuse, some brain cells just won't die.  LOL!

Went to see how my head looked at the Machine Shop while dropping off the valve stem seals.
Looks pretty good, all valve seats were redone and the one bad one replaced. Looks like he took another .009 off the head to get the surface to a place he thought was good. There is still some minor corrosion pits left but he thinks it will not be a problem and recommended this copper gasket spray to put on the gasket if I wanted better assurance of a perfect seal.
Right now the head measures 4.241”. Stock I believe is 4.255”

Here are the pics

I would fill those pits with something as they are outside of the piston sealing region but would make a nice "chain of lakes" for coolant to leak.

Some JB Weld to fill and a flat to knock down would do the trick.  I'd rather have some micro bumps rather than the big pits.

I’ve been researching the idea of Filling these holes. JB Weld, Devon Aluminum Epoxy and another product called Alvin Hi-Temp. They’re all similar product. I think I’ll try the JB Weld. I don’t think it would be a problem even if I left it alone because they are so minor.
