Why are the Front Engine Mounts like that? Did you roll the Engine back some ... or, did you just have them disconnected at the time you snapped the picture?

Looks like a nice neat little project to do. Maybe I'll paint mine too ... although I was thinking about polishing it instead of spraying-on paint. Take it off. Hit it with some 320 and smooth it all down. Again with 400, 800 and 1000 ... then buff the whole thing out.

Maybe when I have to do the Gaskets ... right now, though ... I'm just catching-up on doing all the scheduled maintenance.

Hey, those Calipers of mine could use some color ... maybe when I bleed the brakes.
When the warm weather comes back to New England.

Is it possible to spray my stock cover with high-temp clear coat and have it look decent at all? I like the way it looks, just wish it had some gloss to it.
