Well, if you're gonna pick nits, the fan pulley should be the color of the nut as should be all the MFI linkage.
But, the thread was/is about engine porn as shown by Henry's painted engines, not about what is
concours or correct.
In addition, it's what's inside that really counts. I used to get beat in racing by the dirtiest looking motors that just ran like an ape with his ass on fire pissing and crapping all the way to the checkers.
