>>"Interesting to see the correct BMC gold. I just rebuilt my engine and tried to match the few gold flakes that came off . They were under several interesting layers of paint one of which was green! I chose to get it back to the gold color. The head I decided to keep aluminum which I know is not original, but seemed to complement the whole engine. My Dad told me that when you got a complete goldseal replacement engine, everything was painted gold!"
Addendum November 2013:

Photos below compliments of Jim Holody in Canada. This Twin Cam gold seal engine was purchased separate from his car many years ago. Interestingly it is not painted gold. No other history known.
