That sucks, big dollar block and low dollar finish. Go figure.

... granted, overspray is a poor finish quality... but, IMO, an engine builder should take care of all that at block prep. Good heads-up though.

You would think GM would at least have plugs for the ports to keep out overspray or something.

Should have cleaned it out before the motor was built, but then again for 2K I would expect GM to clean out the damn block. That sucks

How about it! Seems so simple in hind sight. I also agree that the engine builder should be on the ball and do their best to remove what they can.
