misterdrifter Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 So... I FINALLY got enough extra saved cash to buy my cylinder head, which was the biggest reason my car was down. Out of the box, ready to bolt up.... BUT before I polished it...http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/misterdrifter/Starion%20Returns/IMG_1294.jpg After Polishing... http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/misterdrifter/Starion%20Returns/IMG_1296.jpg Bolted up and torqued down! http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/misterdrifter/Starion%20Returns/IMG_1303.jpg Polished most of the casting flashing on the intake... and also the first 1 and 1/2 inches of each port. Super super smoothe and soft hehehehttp://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/misterdrifter/Starion%20Returns/IMG_1284.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/misterdrifter/Starion%20Returns/IMG_1311.jpg Me.. hahhttp://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/misterdrifter/Starion%20Returns/IMG_1314.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/misterdrifter/Starion%20Returns/IMG_1317.jpg I just need to buy a radiator and battery now.... then it SHOULD be running. Oh yeah, and I need a new windshield still... I'm broke though now again... maybe in the next few weeks, i hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr-starion Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Polishing sucks! Takes too much time lol:p sweet looking motor man, mine looks like a fresh stock crate motor with a charcoal grey metallic valve cover. Wish i had a black car so i could really make it look cool like yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is primered, I'm probably gunna go with the orginal silver color... or maybe something like Ferrari Red. Either way the engine bay will stay black, along with the hood. Thanks for the compliments ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
