i did and it still looking good at 4 yrs now, just make sure engine is room temp when you paint 70 degree it seems to adhere better:biggrin:

am i seeing my engine right?
the pan is loose.head,s off.
i take off the con rod cap and push piston & rod out top.
take off bearing support and pull crank out through side of engine.
then everything else i work on by reaching up in there?
i mean i believe it, i'm just having a hard time adjusting to it.
Have A Nice Day!

and if this engine has been sitting for a long period of time soak it in diesel fuel and tranny fluid mixture it will keep you from breaking bolts off, kohler and tecumsh engines are simular in make up:biggrin:
