Mercruiser Engine

Mercruiser Rover marine engine. So robust and highly-esteemed was the Land-Rover 2 1/4 diesel engine that it was marinized by a company in Lincoln, England, by the name of Ruston and Hornsby.

Engine Enamel Paint
​

We stock only the correct factory color paint, formulated specially for us. We generally stock this in both brush-on and spray paint.  The engine in the background is not painted in the correct color. It is "Close" to the uninitiated but otherwise way off.  For the block, head, front timing cover, and thermostat housing.
