You can just needs to be cleared. If its an engine part I recommend duplicolor engine enamel clear. Rustoleum is too thin and sags very easy.

I finally pulled the intake out of the bag briefly to take a pic.

I didn't realize that he had already painted it with Metalcast and then hit it with 2 coats of clear. Still, its damn near perfection for a stock intake.2012 Sierra - 5.3, Summit "Stage 1" Truck Cam

Weekend Update: While I expected to be starting my bottom end on Saturday, I was sadly misled. I found out that the machine shop which I have bought all the parts for my build had stopped carrying bearings on the shelf for a SBC/LT/LS and I would have to order them from the warehouse. I was given a Monday delivery and sent on my way. I spent the rest of my day cleaning up the garage for the build and making a new parts pile for the bead blaster or wire wheel. I did manage to get my camera out to the garage, but the batteries were dead, simple fix but just my luck. Here are some of the Pics:
First off this is Gunner, he will probably be in most of my pics. He's a monster at 5 months and already a touch under 55 lbs.

Main caps are torqued with ARP Main Studs and the top ready to go; 30 over and decked ten thousandths.

Most important part of all.

Today was an interesting day. The bearings came in around lunch but I was unable to pick them up myself due to yet another Meth Lab being found in the county and being one of the only Hazmat Techs and company officers available, I got volun-told to be on standby and not leave town. Around 3 I got the all clear and was asked by a friend If I wanted to take a ride up to Horsham, Pa to get a part for his LQ4 3rd gen build. We got back around 8:30 after way to much traffic and non-driving idiots. The new bearings were dropped off by another friend while I was up north. Time to get to work, I checked my ring gaps and slipped the rings onto the pistons and after much waiting and delay, the first piston slipped into its new home. I was able to get 2 in before I forced myself inside for the night. Single pic:
First of many...well, maybe just 8.

Tomorrow, the rest will find their way home and hopefully be able to bolt the oil pan on as well.Last edited by Sahara54; 09-25-2012 at 01:52 AM.

Ok, heres a quick question. I'm using Speed Pro Moly faced rings on my pistons. My ring gaps on the first 2 were .020 for both the compression and scraper rings. I wanted it to be more around .016 - .018 for the first ring and .020 on the second. Now for the problem; on the third set the ring are .022 for both. Is this acceptable?
