Well... the inside of the block was really oil damaged due to serious neglect of oil changes... so to get that off, what was really stained on i used nitromors (paint stripper) which loosened it alot then sugar soap really polished it all off, then i used a parafin bath to make sure it was perfectly clean before the clean build.

as for the intake and block i masked it all up and sprayed it with fast dry enamel... i just hope it stays that clean and does'nt flake off. i dont think it will though.

For the cylinder head i used very high temp silver paint because that gets alot hotter than the intake and block.

Thanks for comments guys :) really makes me wanna do a better job of it
