Don't blame you about waiting until next year to paint the engine. I'd want to get it up and running so I can enjoy it now also. Fix the little things this year so that next year all you have to work on is painting the engine. Great video as always.
Paint the engine turquoise as factory color ($30.?). It will be easier to see any leaks. Looks like the block is now black. It must of been rebuild at some point.
I try to film most of it and keep it at a decent time. I can always try and help if you have questions and I've done it. I'm new to these so it's a learning curve.
