If you want 100% authenticity, assemble the engine completely and then hose it down.

They look very nice if painted piece by piece but I guarantee they did not do that in a high production environment. And to be really authentic don't use any primer either.

I know in other factories of the era even the accessories were installed and masked loosely before painting as evidenced by overspray around the mounting points of starters and such.
