Re: IML: 59 413 engine color

[PAUL WENTINK <randalpark@xxxxxxx>]

1959, 1960, and 1961 engine colors should be as you describe, except 
the Auto Pilot is silver w/a red foil "Perfect Circle" label. I think 
the valve cover decals for '59 are different than the other two years, 
though.

Hi David,

 

Presuming that the 59 is similair to a 60 engine (both are the RB 
version) the main engine block is black.

The intake manifold is also black, the airfilter housing is gold, the 
cruisecontrol housing (from Perfect Circle) is also black.

My waterpump was re-newed so it is shiny metal (alu-look), but I guess 
it was originally black too.

The black on my engine is semi gloss.

 

I hope this helps you a little further in your rebuilding project.

Speaking about rebuilding, was it difficult to find all the necessary 
parts?

Since this is a RB block one could expect some difficulties I think..

 

And, btw, do you have a good trick to remove that bolt that keeps the 
harmonic balancer on the crankshaft?

I am in progress of replacing the timing chain of my engine, but are a 
little afraid to start cause everyone told me that

this bolt is very hard to remove..

Especially with the engine in the car, ofcourse I don't want to remove 
the engine for a relative "simple" job like replacing the timing chain!!

 

Robert

I am rebuilding my 413 and wondering about color. I understand the main 
engine block is black. Is the intake manifold black? I know the air 
filter is gold What about the cruise control housing? Is the water pump 
black? Was the black a gloss or semi gloss. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated. This is a great website for imperial owners and I really 
enjoy the quick feedback. Thank you, David Carpenter
