[FC] Chevy orange valve covers

[hallgrenn at aol.com]

My experience with two factory new engines as well.  A new 1968 and a factory replacement engine.  No paint on the valve covers or oil pan.

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.
