134 color

What color was 55 CJ 134 and same ? on a 62 134 .I heard 55 was black and the 62 was blue :?

 

Never heard of a blue one. My '65 is black.

 

so i guess you can have any color as long as it's black R)

 

Well i'm out of black soooo i'm gonna do a blue one light blue waddya think

 

Shure is purty!

 

I read/heard somewhere that factory reman./rebuilt F-heads wre painted blue. I do know the one I took out of the '67 CJ-5 that I parted out was a minty blue/green color. It was to be a swap motor for my '56 but ended up having a cracked deck. I took the bottom end out of it to replace the worn crank in my '56. It had undersize bearings on the crank and an .040 overbore. Was clean as a whistle inside, no sludge or goo anywhere,so I am assuming it was rebuilt at some point in its life. My '56 was originally black as almost all others I've seen. HTH

 

I painted my L134 ford blue. Its a very bright blue, and I really like how it looks. I dont have any pics of it right now though.

 

The 2As were Gloss Black (hides the oil tracks better)

 

Hmm. Mines blue. Ser# on the firewall sez it's a '59. The PO said it was a '57. Probably some of both and more. Does blue really mean High Altitude? So it might have higher compression than the "sea level" version?

 

There were four different heads for the F head. These four heads had three compression ratios with the highest being for high altitudes.

That is per the parts manual.

I also understand that they were painted different colors to distinguish them; the high compression head was supposed to be yellow.

However, I have never seen this color coding in any Jeep document. But I haven't seen all the jeep documents either.

I read somewhere that the factory rebuild engines were painted blue.
