Was wandering around e-bay and saw this. I think it is very sharp.

I'd almost feel bad putting oil in it.

If you wanted to keep it that nice you wouldnt even want to put it in a car. Its an LC2 so its bound to leak no matter what.

I took my motor down to pretty much heads, block, and some accessories. Then I cleaned it and sand blasted a few things, painted and clear coated stuff. It looked great, for about 400 miles. I mean, it still looks really nice and I get comments on it but to me its just another dirty motor again.

This is what it looked like as of a couple weeks ago,

How high do you think it will go? I am thinking around 5K

Thanks! I am trying to keep it nice if only for one season.
