I've a few days off for the holidays and decided to go ahead and start painting a few items for the new engine. I'm hoping to get a call soon stating the engine is ready. Painting the parts now will allow me to get as far as possible while off when I do get the call that the engine is ready.
I started off by painting the timing cover which I stripped I few weeks ago. I then painted the oil pan followed by the water pump, intake, crank pulley, and harmonic balancer. With the exception of the crank pulley, all of the parts were painted with Duplicolor 1606 Dark Ford Blue Paint.
When my wife arrived home at the end of the day, I talked her into helping me bleed the brakes. Since I removed the master cylinder to paint it a couple of weeks back, this would also be needed in order to start driving the car. This took longer than expected but the brakes are now fully bled.
