Looks good, but you might want to strip off the stuff that would be in contact with oil constantly. That's north of the oil pan area and the oil passages; I'd imagine the o-rings won't seal for too long against paint.

that and you have paint where the housings mate together.... I would strip it off whereever you can't see it, because thats where it could interfere with the tight dimensions of the engine, and the oil could get fouled up from it.

Cant wait to do my engine...Really makes me want to get mine going . I thought about just porting and painting the plates I have "for fun", but Im gonna wait till I can afford to have them resurfaced and powder coated I think . Might as well just do it right .
