I'd just run a tap down the bolt holes.
I masked everything EXCEPT both the water pipe ports on the side of the block... Is there a way to remove this paint or is it fine? ...
I would NOT use a blade, scraper, or sandpaper to remove it.... don't want any of that getting into the coolant passages.I would use lacquer thinner or MEK to soften and liquefy that paint and use a piece of cloth (t-shirt or shop rag) wrapped around the tip of phillips screwdriver, carefully pulling it out.Geezz.. great paint job... I wish I done that to my block. That will probably last the life of your engine and withstand all the degreaser and carwash spray cleaning you can put it through.Gnarls.
I'd leave the paint on the flat portion where the gasket goes........
I'd probably leave the paint if its nice and smooth. I'd use Optimum Grey on that pipe and gasket. Be careful not to over torque those small bolts.Gnarls.
Thanks, appreciate it! I've just spent the last 2 hours painting it. I just want something that's clean and looks great. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
what color is it, I painted my 22re ford grey, kinda looks like it, love the attention to detail
Got my kit! Includes everything. And as requested, a picture of the head gasket. Also, what is this weird white fiber gasket?Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I also highly suggest a Marlin 1200 clutch https://www.marlincrawler.com/clutch/heavy-duty/clutch-hilux/1981-88-4cyl-1200-lb-clutch-kit
In 20+ years of wheeling, I saw more slave cylinder failures than I did clutch disc failures.
That's why you occasionally practice clutchless shifting...........
I see a MLS headgasket with silicone embedded, and the white fluffy is for the stock exhaust manifold heat riser thing thats always tossed when you get that header from LCE
... I put one in along with a new Aisin slave cylinder. ...
I kept a spare slave cylinder in my parts kits that went with me every time I went wheel'n, along with a small bottle of brake fluid.Gnarls.
