Cheers guys makes the hours of messy hard work worth while.

I do miss it dan. Just need the money together to get it done.

I hate anything to do with these shitty knock sensors. Always never trusted taking them off, because it always causes trouble. Lol

As long as you dont paint where the knock sensor face meets on the block ,removing it and refitting it will not give you any probs matey

I would seriously make sure that you aint got any paint up the holes where the oil pump sits against the block, dont want the paint breaking down and causing a blockage or acting like valve paste now do we

Today I just cracked on with the oil pump and final coat on block.

NOTE
I have taped and bunged every important hole in the pump both whilst degreasing and spraying, so no shit or contamination will affect the working pump.

Any ways after I had degreased it, it looked like this





Then painted it







That will be the last update for a week or two. Gonna get all the updates into one.

Cheers that rocker is my old tester one. Just used it to cover the top of the head.

I hope it does come out as mint as I can picture it.

Raspberry yea. Don't get it, it tastes like shit! Lol
