Original Engine Colors - Need help

Hi All,
 
Even thought my restoration is going very slowly (i have three kids under 7!), the time has come to now repaint the engine. Its stripped down, cleaned up, and a few little mods done.
 
Can someone please help me out with information relating to what the original colors of the engine are meant to be?.
 
For some reason i picture the block and head being black, with the rocker cover being blue........but not even sure if im right. And even if i am, not sure on shades.
 
Pictures, descriptions, documents.....anything will be great.
 
Thanks very much guys. Im ready to paint it.
 
Cheers

Thanks for reply Ron.

Good question.

The car is a 4 door mk2 1980 rs2000.

Cheers

No, a 1980 RS will have an all black motor and a metal air cleaner

Thanks for the replies guys.
 
So, sounds to me like the sump, block and head should be black, with the rocker cover being blue (and possibly the timing belt cover and air cleaner as well. Is that the general consensus?.Wouls rather not have to repaint down the track if possible :)
 
Any idea on paint code for the blue?
 
On top of that though, are there any casting marks on the engine that can be used to identify if it is a "High compression" (J) engine, or a "Low Compression" (R) engine?
 
 

Thanks Jimmy,
 
IIRC i read somewhere a while back that most (in fact almost all) of the 2L pinto's in escort etc were all high compression? In other words, the high compression motor was pretty much the standard motor?
 
Do you know where i might find specs an what the measurements are to determine HC or LC?
 
Cheers

HC was standard motor, LC only used for auto.
From memory HC compression height 41.6, LC compression height 40.6

From memory when I bought mine which was one of the last one's sold.
the engine was all black and the air cleaner was blue.
There should be sales brochures around which show the engine bay.
