Re: Finally some PAINT!!!
I really like it! Glad your motor problem turned out not to be be something serious.
What brand of paint did you use? |

Re: Finally some PAINT!!!
Thanks guys! The paint is a base clear. The brand is BASF diamont. This is what I've used for the past eight years. Really nice product.

Re: Finally some PAINT!!!
I've heard of guys brazing the pickup tube to the oil pump, I guess it's not a bad idea seeing what happened to your engine. Hope your big block is o.k.

Re: Finally some PAINT!!!
Thanks. I got them at a truck shop in Oklahoma City. They actually sound like a train…maybe not as loud, but they're loud enough for me to get in trouble with.

Re: Finally some PAINT!!!
Good find on the pickup. I, like you, would have thought you would have lost all oil pressure when it fell off. I guess you had enough oil in the pan to keep the pump submerged. How's your oil pressure now? Any difference before and after the incident?

Re: Finally some PAINT!!!
Oil pressure seems good now…about 20 at idle (after warmed up) and close to 50 running down the highway on a 100 degree day. Pretty much the same as before.

Re: Finally some PAINT!!!
Sorry to bring up a old thread. I was wondering if you remember the backspacing on your 15x8 wheels?
