Hi all, any one know what colour an 1980 998cc engine colour should be? I did a bit of searching and I can't a reference for automatics. It seems the previous owners had the paint removed for some odd reason. I've cleaned down the block and head and I can't find any colour.
Thanks

Was there ever an grey or brown on the earlier automatic engines?

I was searching and came across a video and some photos which seem to show brown. I should have booked marked photos but I wasn't thinking. I kinda remember a brown engine on a moke years ago at one of the IMM's. I always assume the owner had just painted the engine.

I stripped the head during the week as I spotted damage to the guide valves. It looks like the head was worked on and valves were replaced. Looks like they were "hammered" into position. What I discovered around the valves is the original colour seems to be gold. I've decided to go with yellow as the engine colour.
