I use free paint.net for photo editing. I just did a quick google search, and it does not run on Linux, but there are lots of alternatives out there apparently.

At any rate, my 1920 x 1080 monitor is seeing the pics OK..they are probably a little big on a smartphone's browser.

As for the painting, the progress on curbing the corrosion looks good.

Is the engine FWC ? If, so, now that you have a uniform color and it is easier to notice these things, there may be a bit of antifreeze dripping from the tee fitting in the manifold, Post #12, pic#3.
Well, yes, I suppose I could adjust the size of the pictures when I take them. But I did not take these pics specifically to post them, it is more for myself to document things so I can go back later and see what I did. So I want the highest resolution possible, just in case I might need it (Google stores them for free anyway).

But you are right, there are tools in Linux to reduce the size and I will do that in the future when posting to this site.

As for your observation, YOU ARE RIGHT! I did not notice it, either in the picture nor on the motor but there is clearly a leak! It is worrying that it is there even though the motor has never been used after the painting, so it seems to seep out without any pressure. I wonder if it has to do with the pesky leak whose source I could never find (see this thread http://www.moyermarineforum.com/foru...ad.php?t=11118 )

Next time at the boat I will investigate and report what I find.

THANK YOU!
