nothing special - just cleaned it up, wiped it down with acetone, and painted it. Used the rustoleum pro stuff i use for pretty much everything.

holding up pretty well - its got a few chips in it now from road debris but i can hit it with more paint at any time

Well the engine is currently on an engine stand covered in wd-40, (thanks to the rain rusting it) should i just get soap and water and wash it?

btw like your e-fan writeup. I was wondering if you knew if there was a way to wire a 3 position switch (SPDT) to be PCM controlled - OFF completely - ON all the time. I would like to be able to turn it off in case of water crossings
