Note to anyone who does this, don't spray paint the head in your finished basement with only a drop cloth down unless you like a Volvo red tinge to the floors, walls, cabinets.......my poor wife.....

Oh, and I found the thermostat.......didn't realize it was up in the housing and not in the intake manifold....rookie mistake there or lack of sleep...

I hope those spark plugs you painted (installed in the head) were temporary place holders otherwise may want to clean off the tips before you put the wires on or she may run poorly :-)
