Did you paint or powder coat the engine? Sure is a nice color!

Thanks Andy,
The color was a happy mistake actually. I was looking for something a little different so I ordered VHT's "Red Flame" metallic engine paint. When I got the paint, the cap was actually more of a salmon color, not the red I expected to see. I tried it anyway, and the cap was the perfect match... not what I was looking for at all. I went to the local parts store and found a Dupicolor heat paint that looks like red anodizing. So I sprayed that over the VHT paint and the result is what you see in the pics. The duplicolor is kind of candy apple red which worked really well over the VHT "Red". So, I got lucky, even a blind squirrel gets an acorn once in a while!!!
