    Don't know the code

    Head was black and block was red.

    Variously described in UK posts on the topic as terracotta, primer red, ochre red.............

    Looks a bit like the original colour of the Holden 149" engine.

    However, a bit like the blue of the 3 bearing block - ongoing lack of consensus on what the colour actually is.

    Ochre Red I think - plus someone (can't remember who) told me it was just a primer.
