[size=5]Yes Greg I do...[/size]

and black isn't My favorite colour.. especially flat black.. :lol:

but a fellow in the USA believed My engine would be running hotter because My cylinders were painted silver instead of black.
Maybe because all old wood stoves with ovens etc were all black
??

LEE

It just makes pulling apart and putting back together very difficult..:lol: LEE
