The stampings on the block gasket surface face are the piston bore grades. If pistons are original, the same stamping should be found on the piston. Simple method of maintaining correct bore clearance.

Refinishing the original wheels from my '62. The paint code that is listed in the Factory Fit thread of: "Metallichrome Aluminium" ICI: PO-2358 doesn't seem to be recognized here in British Columbia.

I had a stencil laser cut out of flexable material by a local sign / trophy shop. They downloaded the example from this thread & cut it out in a few minutes.
