Re: Painting the engine

This should help, it's a 7th Series Big 8. Two details I'd question based on original engines: (1) the air scoop for the generator - it's an incorrect generator and shouldn't have the air scoop, but since it has one, the scoop would be black. (2) Though I've seen it often and again don't know with absolute certainly, on original engines I've seen the cast iron rocker shaft covers are painted aluminum from the advent of the Single Eight and Single Six right thru the end of production of those engines. Factory photos of the era, though in B&W, don't leave much if any room for argument here.
