Your motor mount is tite! (pun intended)

Must have taken 4ever to polish that biotch. What do you mean by "filled"?

took about 3 hours to finish the sanding on the mount. "Filled" Means that the entire mount is filled with urethane. Kinda like adding motor mount inserts except many believe this is much better. Filling the mount took about 30 minutes and 3 days to cure. It was sitting here waiting for Unleashed to come and get it for another 6 days. His car is a daily driver so his mounts are not completely filled from end to end.

i'm actually thinking about doing this as a service. Just not sure how much demand there is for this.

I like the valve cover color, it's not far off from the color of my 4AG cam covers.

that was strictly by accident. That paint is actually duplicolor 500 degree silver. It quickly begins to yellow when you apply heat to it.

As with most kinds of paint, some colors are more fade/change prone than others in extreme heat. Primary colors and darker ones (slate greys for instance) seem to fare better.
