I might have missed it... but why not remove the engine in its cradle? 

Would it had been easier to work on it ?

Pistons will come off rods tomorrow.  I’ll then go pick up the parts from the machine shop. 

Building it out from there

The exhaust post coating.  It looks titanium due to the flash
It’s flat or semi flat black
