DupliColor 1200 degree engine paint. is what i used. Both blue and white. And i used Green painters tape. and took my time cutting the letter's out. I could not find the exact blue i wanted. so i painted the cover white first. so it will lightin up the blue a lil. came out great.

not really much work. just time consuming. you have to wait a full day before you can take the tape off, and re tape it. Here's the front chain peek hole cover i just finished.

the head performs just Awesome. It's even Really quite. But the pistons are not so great. She runs Strong. Smooth. And has loads of power. But Piston #3 you can move around whit your hand. and there's a thick ring grove(only it kind of pops out. then groves in.) only it's on top of All the cylinders. there all exactly the same.

She runs So much Smoother now since i got out there and did some tuning this mornin. Adjusted the TPS. and ran the Vac Advance on the dissy to the intake instead of the charcoal canister. I am gona get my timing rechecked. and do a lil more tuning. For having bad rings. this thing is a Hoss. and won't even flinch to light em up.
