Dominic_Martinelli Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 What color is the crankshaft pully supposed to be? Mine has be painted several times and I have found traces of Buick Green on the back side and just black paint on the front. Is this supposed to be all green? All black? Or is it both colors?? Thanks in advance.-Dominic Martinelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Dominic,At the risk of being embarrassed by someone with more first-hand knowledge, I'm going to say it should be all black. I have restored enough 364s and 322s to see that the crank pulleys are not two colors. The question is, did Buick paint the engines with the crank pulley in place, or not? I believe they painted the engine without the crank pulley, because you cannot paint the engine area behind the pulley very well, if the pulley is in place. I've been told that the rule of thumb in painting a Buick engine, is if the bolt holding the part passes through a gasket, then the part should be Buick green. If it does not pass through a gasket, then it was added later--after the engine was painted, and it should be black, or some other color other than engine color.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338Ector, TexasHead Judge, 1998 BCA National Meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
