Best to paint the entire thing, front and back, they do rust. I would do that and then install. Use the Cummins factory OEM paint, it is not cheap, but it holds up better than anything you will find at Home Depot. I would highlight the timing marks too with an offset color. Save you frustration down the road.

Awesome thank you! Just took my old one off this morning, I didn’t even need to pry it at all. Must be my lucky day:cool:. Do you know if Cummins use’s a primer also?
