Here is most the candy apple red parts sitting on top of the engine. You may notice that under the hood is farely clean. I set this up to get an idea of how things will position and is there was anything else I need to have powder coated. Generally if somthing looks dirty but you cleaned it like a germophobe then you should just powdercoat the piece. The Thermostat is right beside the wastegate thats candy red and has oxidation. Later I will unbolt it an powder coat that as well. Even though I have the Cam gears on the blog I do not have them back from the candy being applied from the painter. Candy is a light tint high temp. clear coat that you apply over the red to give that deep thick color. All is well so far. I need to change the head gasket and install all these red parts. I am starting by installing the Fuel Pump and wiring. I am using a relay and wire direct to battery to get a better connection. It is said that if you use the factory wireing there is a voltage drop and the fuel pump makes a wine! I dont want wierd noises and need the pump to work flawlessly so direct wire to battery it is!
