I dropped my subframes and control arms at the powder coaters. I spoke with him a bit about the process. I'm excited to see the finished product!
I didn't do a whole lot today. I put an oil filter on the OFH to keep debris out of that area. Then I started cleaning the threads for the water pump.
Next I installed the water pump.
I think I will clean the lifters and cams and get them installed soon.
I started going through my stuff to see what I would bring to the powder coater next. Man do I have some spare parts...
I need to figure out the difference between the 1g dsm front motor mount bracket and VR4. I believe they are different, I don't want to put the wrong one on!
I wasn't really sure what the process was for powder coating, this is when I youtube. Turns out it's pretty easy. Clean parts, powder, bake. Before you know it I ended up with this:
I can save at least that much on all of the miscellaneous parts that I want to coat. I have a buddy that is going to be getting a new oven in the near future, so I will have a powder coating oven! More to come on this project later.
