Thanks

I´m hoping the good people here can help with my (almost perpetual) stream of questions.

At the moment I´m thinking about valve cover and sump colours on B18s

(I know I´ve got a B20 but I want it to look kind of original)

Ignoring the chrome finishes and the black and chrome zebra affairs it looks like Volvo painted the valve cover in a grey



(Image borrowed from Wikipedia)

Is there a specific Volvo grey for this?

I´ve found the red engine paint.

I´m also wondering about the sump - it looks like most have been done in the red.



{And another general Volvo question for you all: Why did the next generation engines end up being called red blocks when the generation before were also red?}
