are you sanding the primer off the 205 housing mating surfaces? i've always kept them bare, but never had anyone argue one way or the other. down in the bores however, i'd be worried things won't slip-fit with that heavy coat.

I only bought the pint(correction. It was a quart) can of the primer and barely used any of it with the brush. I agree that it left an okay finish. I did mark the mating surfaces today and quickly sanded to bare metal. Unfortunately I forgot the idler shoms and had to pull it apart today. Then, I did not check the alignment before I ramrodded the idler in there causing the shims to be destroyed. I paid a crapload of cash to have a shim kit next day shipped. I will get them tomorrow.
