Subject: Re: LG45 Engine Paint Colour

Thanks Bill,
I have also seen what looked like untouched cylinder blocks in white or cream. The 2 Litre engine was certainly light/mid grey originally, but of course this engine does not run hot and I fully understand the desirability of a paint that radiates heat effectively.
It may be that the light grey and cream paint was all about showing up oil or coolant leaks in period. Quite a few restored 4.5 Litres seem to go for grey cylinder block and head. So my choice is between mid grey or sensible black...decisions, decisions...
