Slow month, been waiting on parts to come back from blasting. And my engine that has been in the shop since March.

Looks great!
I always thought it was funny that they still decided to paint the engines bright silver when everything else on the truck was a flat olive green.

Yeah, same. At least this way it’s easier to see the leaks.

looks great! I thought the M37 engines were olive drab??? or was that only on rebuilds? did some work on a few the last couple years and both had olive drab engines

I heard silver from the factory, OD being applied by the Army during resprays.

Mine was silver underneath OD.

Putting all the fiddly bits on the engine. Focusing on starting the engine.
