Dwight Romberger Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Hi all,OK, I know about the olive green, but some restored engines have the valve cover and the spark plug cover painted black, some are green. Anyone have a definitive answer?Spray can in hand.Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Dwight,i think you can get your answer from the judging manual which is on this site, and you can find be going through the text on the site.If you cannot locate, I, or someone, will likely respond. I just do not have the time this morning.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thriller Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 http://www.buickclub.org/BCA%20JUDGING%20MANUAL/BCAjudgingrev2.pdfI don't believe it will have the detail that is being requested though. The ultimate would be someone who has seen an original engine. I believe the engine on my '29 is in original condition and everything is uniform in colour (that is the painted covers on the engine are the same as engine colour).

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I am not familiar with the 1930, but have noticed a lot of Buicks that appear to have some [or a lot of] black on the engine. My 50 Super is in this condition. Did Buick perhaps prime with black? The color then wearing off, leaving the primer,which appears to hang on a lot longer. ???
