I ended up painting the block semi-gloss black. It looked great and I thought it was going to look great with the brass freeze plugs. Then I realized I had all deep plugs. How I ended up with deep, I have no idea. So I went out and bought stainless ones from Auto Value and NAPA. Mismatched and all... I think in the near future I will be putting new OEM plugs in.
With us graduating on the 8th and our junk having to be out of the shop a week before I've got zero time left. So I am just trying to get done what I can, while I can. The plugs may have to be permanent for now...especially because I used red gel Loc-Tite. LOL

Oh well, I'll have a go and see what it does. I'm really just using it as a catch can drainback.

That is what I thought would happen but didn't want to be a nay-sayer. It would be a good way to dump access oil back into the pan from the catch can..but then again, pressure would probably blow it back up/out.
Meh, excuse my rambling. lol
