{Chrysler 300} Re: Painted engine and and associated bolts

[Jamie Hyde <jamiehyde209@xxxxxxxxx>]

Engine all painted turquoise after assembly including oil pump, water pump and thermo housing and all bolts and nuts . Front alt bracket, power steering pump and brackets are satin black, their bolts natural as they were installed after the engine was built . Carb nuts natural. Oil and temp senders natural. Heater hose nipples natural. I use matte clear for natural after I wire brush them and they are still warm from the grinder. Don't forget to seal the 2 ps alt bracket bolts with pipe dope as they go into the water jacket. Fan satin black, fan clutch nuts or bolts natural. Motor mount cover satin, all mm bolts natural, motor mount foot natural ,nuts natural.  Some debate if fuel pump and oil dip stick tube is turquoise or natural. I do natural on both with the oil handle natural. Alt pulley satin. Carb linkage natural. Carb spring natural or may be light green. PVC and cover can be turquoise or flat black with the PVC natural, I have seen both. Oil breather satin black.
