Default Re: Refinishing the engine - Would it take away NCRS points?

This is only an opinion since I am not familiar with their judging standards on the engine. Refinishing with the stock color should not hurt you unless it is noticeably off color. However, painting the letters on the plenum red will almost certainly lose some originally points. I'm sure there is a way to get a definitive answer, and you may wish to hold off on any project like that if you are thinking of having it judged.
