Re: Out of the Closet (was TR3 engine painting)

Bruce,


     I can't really help you- but, I'm curious to find out if
the inside of the engine block is painted the same color.
On TR 250 & 6 engines, it appears as though the whole
engine block was painted after casting, inside and out, be-
fore it was machined.  The end result is that all rough, sand
cast areas are paint; and all machined bosses and bores are
bare metal.
  If this engine was painted by a "creative" DPO, I seriously
doubt he would go through the trouble to thoughly strip the engine
to the bare block to make it orange.  Then again....
