Why didn't you paint the exhaust manifolds? Is this the same head that you were very unhappy with and did you have anything else done to fix what was wrong?
Looks great though. Gotta admire your aspiration for cleanliness - gonna hurt to see it dirty after a couple weeks of driving, I'm sure.
The exhuast manifolds are only temporary, and even if i painted them the rust will just eat to the surface again.
Yes its the same head, I tore it down, and did a port/polish on it. Its great now.
I will pressure wash the engine bay often, that will keep it plenty clean. I dont have to worry about grease and grime as the engine is all resealed.

Looking at that picture makes me think, how hard is it to swap an alternator in an e30? Can you actually pull it off without removing the whole engine?

Interesting, I had no clue and didnt bother looking to see. I need to get a new alternator.
