The sump and timing case also got treated to a couple of heavy duty washes and some prep for painting.I think shoot the block with some nice fresh black paint too. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95394-my-long-term-tidy-up/page/41/#findComment-1701571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 5y 5m 7d Posted 27/12/20 07:36 AM Author Share Posted 27/12/20 07:36 AM Big day again here, nothing like a decked out shop to keep pushing forward. First up I started to do the valve springs and get them out of the way. Between the springs I was spraying the sump and timing case with some silver engine enamel.I then masked up the head and windage tray and gave the block one last clean up and a shot of gloss black. Swapping stuff over from the turbo engine was all pretty straight forward, like for like with a little wash if needed. Now the only thing holding me up from fitting the engine back in is the sump gasket, somehow forgot to get one and it appears most places are out of stock. If anyone has one in Sydney, I'd pay double the rrp to pick it up tonight or tomorrow morning haha its the half moon type... Now I will turn my attention to the engine bay and try and clean that up as best as I can. Lots done but lots more still to do.
