This brings up an interesting question:

I have a '75 B.  From the factory, I understand the engine was black.  
So of course, it is red (and the wrong shade of red at that).

However, the everything above the head gasket is from a '71-'73[0].  At 
what point would the proper color become red, rather than black?

It doesn't really matter though, I had to repaint the head when I got 
it back from the machine shop.  It is MG red.  The engine will be MG 
red too, as soon as I have some reason I have to pull it, hopefully not 
anytime soon.

[0]: during my recent valve problems, I mistakenly thought the head was 
even earlier.
