Engine Painting and dress up
Ok I've been cleaning every little inche off my engine and lines and tubing and everything. I've got it pretty clean. I am wanting to do alittle touch up paint on some parts of the engine where its bear metal now. Has any9one painted the engine with it still in the car. I don't have the resources, or knowlege to remove mine and paint each part extra. Any tips and advice??

I painted much of my engine (at least the visible parts) with the engine still in the car. In most cases I used Duplicolor or VHT high heat paint.
The "trick" is "aluminum foil". Combined with masking tape and paper. The foil will cling around brackets and lines while the paper will cover larger areas.
It also helps to unhooks some stuff to get it out of the way. Mark your plug wires and fuel injectors and pull them back. Makes for easier work.
