Does a 86 lt250r come stock with a blue block?
 

I have a 86 lt250r and i have had it for 6 months now. It's block (motor) is painted blue. A person told me that a 86 doesn't come blue stock, the person before must have painted it. And now, on march, the paint has been peeling now for some time and looks like crap[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]. Will it hurt the motor to take the paint off?

Your joking right...

Will it hurt the motor if i take the paint off?
 

why would it... if the motor is melting off it can't really hurt it.... how do you plan on taking it off though?

i would polish it off, like i did on a motor, steel wool, dremel, and air grinder/buffer. be forwarned that this is a project that you have to know what you are gettin in to(takes a long time to complete)

well....the only reason why i would ask that my friend tolod me that it was a bad idea to do it, so i wanted to prove him wrong. I know i'm right that it won't even hurt the motor the slightest bit[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

i was planing to take it off with either carb cleaner or brake cleaner(same thing). I got that idea when i was cleaning the oil off my carb, it took the paint off pretty good. So i guess i'm gonna do it!!!! A dremel, some carb cleaner and a brush is all i need!!!!!!! weekend project though

No, it won't hurt it....Chroming a motor is a bad idea because it keeps the heat in. Clean all the old paint off and repaint it with Hi-Temp engine paint and you'll be stylin'. I painted mine red with a cast color cylinder and yellow magneto cover. I also faded the yellow into the red on the clutch cover. The frame is yellow and the plastic is black and yellow with red highlights here and there. I think it looks good. And the LT motor is blue from the factory.
