It looks mighty good - particularly if it's running nicely - that's all that really matters.

Mine looks the way it does (did, actually) because I painted and clearcoated the parts - didn't have much better to do at the time and wanted to win the poser prize. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Good on ya - when you start driving it, take it up to 30 and let it coast down a few times - then up to 40 and coast down a few times - then 50/60 same way - helps to seat the rings. Then when you think it's ok (at least 25 miles of the ups and downs) run the everlovin' screamin' Hell out of it for one good run and let it coast down and cool off before you shut it down. That oughta get those rings seated and you'll find out real soon if you've got a good engine.

Break in's up to you - everybody does it differently, but I don't believe in babying them after the acceleration/coast routine as long as the temperature's ok, oil pressure's up and it sounds right.... run 'em and teach 'em who's boss. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
