      Project 'orange roadkill' (bent valves rebuild & more)

      Finally made time to post some pics of the orange 06 'bent valve' project, in case anyone is interested in valve carnage lol

      Recently bought this 06 as a well used fixer, textbook skipped timing belt. Anyway I am bringing this one back to road warrior status, here are some pics of the work in progress. If anyone cares, I can post updates as I get it back on the road. Hard to tell in the pics, but all the exhaust valves got hit and are bent, and took the guides with them.

      I think I will pull the pistons and inspect for any damage, and throw a fresh set of rings on it. No sign whatsoever of any ring ridge, and cross hatch is still clear, not bad with nearly 240K on the clock. Feel free to lend any input, this is my first T200 shortblock, but it looks to be wearing very well.

      PS: Sorry about the cat, not sure why he needed to jump up while I was taking this pic LOL My helper?

      scrub scrub

      Finished a little deep cleaning under the hood with the head out of the way. Looks much better with 230K miles worth of grime washed away, I can see the engine and trans now lol Just waiting on parts now, should start going back together soon.

      How in the world did you get that engine bay so clean?? Nice orange. I originally wanted one with the camel interior but was never able to find one. I had to settle for blue with pleather grey interior.

      Are these engines okay to paint? I say this because I'm swapping in a D-TEC II, but I want it to look nice when I open the hood.

      Also, what chemicals and tools should i use to clean the engine bay and the engine itself.

      What is this bit?
