[FC] Chevy orange valve covers

[Dale Dewald]

Hello,

Several years ago I had a brief Q/A with lclc about engine sheet 
metal.  The official word: Valve covers and oil pans of all Corvair engines 
were stamped from terne (a lead-tin alloy) plated steel sheet and left the 
factory without additional paint.  Orange, black or any other color valve 
covers are non-stock.
