Easy question about Color of 1954 Starliner engine/bell housing/tranny

[ken-renda]

I believe the engine is supposed to be black, and tranny is ugly green; but is the bell housing black or green? Ken, Deltaville, Va

[dictator27]

Engine block, transmission and bell housing are green. Rocker covers, air cleaner and oil pan are black (likely with green overspray ). I believe the valley cover is also black.

Valley cover should be black & if you have the added oil filter, it should be black (not orange) and it will have green over-spray. Heads should be green as well, I believe. The brackets for clutch linkage etc. all black. If a dealer installed the oil cleaner, it may indeed be orange.

The main items, like the engine block, should be 1930s-1940s 30 weight engine oil green.
