I asked and they did not respond about the color haha- I am just going to paint over the yellow- scuff it up a bit of course.

Not sure what you guys are talking about, the yellow is damn sexy in a dirty engine bay.

Happened to me. Wish I had heard of this problem before. The Browns dogs saved my bacon. And my block.

Everything else will be red in mine- Gloss black block, red valve cover, headers, bored TB, oil pan, radiator hoses etc... the yellow doesn't make sense for me. I was considering doing it all in yellow but already have the red stuff so the brown dogs will get a coat as well.

My original engine is filthy- Oil-Dirt and grime all over everything. I have a 5 gal tub of degreaser for when I pull it out. Just might as well scrub everything down and clean it up when I put my stroker in haha. I at least like to do it right- I'm sure in no time at all it will be covered in dirt- hopefully not oil for along time.

In any case- The yellow would look bad in mine- I still have not gotten them yet- Last piece that I am waiting for.
