[quote=t5frankie;490556]nice mate, what paint did you use for the inlet?[/quote] Thanks mate. I think it was Hycote high temp aluminium paint on all of it, including head and cam cover. It was a bit chalky and came off when you rubbed it as it needs to get warm to set properly. A few heat cycles of the engine and it's well and truly baked on now.

Somehow I get the feeling we've all either run out of cash or got to a point where we can't make it go faster, so we resort to cleaning it instead lol (well, that's me any-hoo) :) Looking very nice mate ;)
