here is some thing i just started to do not a big deal .i came up with this one day ? well i think i did never seen any one do it. on a lot of the blocks i use brass plugs. some guys like the looks so they do not want them painted .i use the 620 lock tie on them so i like them clean with no paint in the plug holes they get sanding clean for good hook up for sealing. so i use a old paper towel roll it works from 1.5/8 to 1.3/4 so sbc to bbc
Pat, Very cool idea, glad you posted that.

Neat trick Pat. I'm painting my engine this weekend and want to leave the brass freeze plugs shiny. I'm going to try your trick and put some masking tape in the bottom so it is all covered.

Very nice, Pat! (but what do you do with all the paper towels you have to take off to get to the core??:LOL::LOL:)
well bathroom paper may work to .i go thru alot of that:3dSMILE:i go thru about a full row of shop towels per engine .so it works better for the shop towels then bathroom paper but i did cut back on taco bell:whacked:?Quote:

BBC sure is pretty with those brass plugs...rdobbs
that really looks great pat.
Wow! From the inventive mind comes innovative ideas. How many times have any of us stuffed newspaper and tape into holes to keep paint or other such stuff out? And the easy solution was always right there at our fingertips. Good on ya', Pat.
