small update, Took me a good week to get the block stripped down good enough to paint, then i re torqued the heads to allow for a little more boost, replaced tappet cover gasket, made a tab for the KDP issue and went through 2 cans of Cummins beige. Note this doesn't need a rebuild I'm just cleaning and resealing the thing while it's out of the truck, should get me by at least 2 years before i do a full rebuild.
Next is re setting valves, getting the covers back on and new front and rear seals..

Most of the Cummins motors that went to dodge were repainted black before installation into the Rams. The black paint was sprayed over everything and tended to jam up the TDC pin, or at least that's what happened on my 93 W350

Thanks, i put a lot of thought into color i wanted it to look as traditional as possible that way there is no mistake what type of engine this thing has, i think it will really stand out in a black and grey truck...
I'm just taking this week slowly piecing the engine back together cleaning and painting each part, i want an immaculate engine bay.
