The engine compartments of most white Healeys, including BN1s, were white,
but there are instances of black engine compartments. If yours had evidence of
black paint in there, then paint it black; if there's no evidence of black, or
you're changing the color from something else and are down to metal, then
paint it all white. Totally correct and much easier.
