Silver is so last month, so blue it is this time!
We used red hamerite on the exhaust plugs and those didn't discolour until we welded something on it - so it seams heat resistance enough!
The hammered blue looks great out in the light.
Oil pump disassembled and cleaned. It all looks fine nothing really worn so no need to replace it.
The parts slot right into place, covered in assembly oil. This stuff is thicker than normal oil and kinda sticks to everything. Should help keep everything lubricated on the fist run.
The filter element has a few hardended clumps inside it but nothing major!
