Bob,
Thanks mine is more of a "driver" than a "shower". Though I did want to get close to some original components (whatever those were which is another long thread discussion so I won't go there  ) I did find it interesting in the mustang engine link I provided that the table in the article (click to read it) shows that the 260 was a semi-gloss block and a gloss pan. I would have thought Ford would just paint the short blocks the same color then assemble the rest  .
Automan, funny that when i first built my car 8+ years ago my engine was blue too. I later corrected that when I sucked a valve and did a complete rebuild (pictured above). If you are having flake problems I would refer to the resto article. I would think it's most likly preparation related if you used hi-temp paint.
Take care,
Mike |
