Re: Magnesium valve covers protection and finish (2.0 l engi
Hey Fred, I have no doubt about what you write about the wrinkle or crackle paint. But my Dad had a 2000 Coupé with that paint on the covers! Also the car I bought earlier on this year, which was produced around the same period, still has remainders of that paint.( Have a look at my postings.) Furth...

Re: Magnesium valve covers protection and finish (2.0 l engi
[quote="Dinofanwim"]Hey Dinoswede, You are absolutely right about the engine number. Sorry! (I think it should be 0001540) However my postings as regard to the finish, are 100% right! Now, it might be possible that during production of the 2.0 l engines, there have been 2 different types o...

Re: Magnesium valve covers protection and finish (2.0 l engi
As promised, please see the valve covers on my 2.0 l. It was identical on my Fathers Dino. You can also see the brownish colour underneath. You can even see the white magnesium oxyde powder appearing!

Re: Magnesium valve covers protection and finish (2.0 l engi
My Fathers 2.0 l Dino was delivered early 1968. Shortly after delivery, a DINOPLEX ignition was fitted as a factory upgrade free of charge! (So it must have been an early production model!) The covers were finished with black wrinkle paint. (This is 100% sure!) I even remember that at one point this...

Re: Engine Up Grade
You can go to an enormous length with views about modifications of a car. But I believe that a Dino should always remain a Dino. A Spider or Coupé should remain as it is, and quite rightly, one important aspect of the car is its beautifully engineered V6 engine. (In my opinion the 2.0 l lightweight ...

Re: Dino Spider Restoration
I have a tendency to think that the valve / cam covers should be in black wrinkle paint as is the case on the 2.0 l engines.
