I don't plan to remove a lot more of the stuff on the inside of the engine I just wanted to paint the main part of the engine and the side covers seperatly in case I need to remove them again in the future. Same for the heads. I'll paint those seperatly incase they need to be removed in the future. As for removing everything, I just want to get a couple more little plastic things off so it's easier to mask.

Is the drive pulley the one in the center shown in the pics. I assume the other two that are on each of the heads are cam pulleys??? I did remove the one on the horizontal head without thinking. I was trying to get at the head bolt easier. After I removed it I thought "Oh Shit, I hope that doesn't fuck up my timing". I left the one on the vertical head attached. For now anyway.
