[Tigers] Tigers Digest, Vol 5, Issue 248

	That is a very good question.  The Cleveland Foundry made all the
engines for the Tiger.  I would think that the 289s were all painted the
same Ford blue color.  TBON lists the color of the block as Old Ford Dark
Blue.

	I have seen several Tiger 289 engine pictures and everyone of them
looks like a different shade of blue.   The big problem is that paint can
change shades due to age, heat and chemicals.  We have all of those in the
engine compartment.

	I suggest you take pictures of all the unique items you see on the
block and then paint it the shade of blue you like.  I also suggest you take
pictures of casting numbers, date codes and any ink stampings you find.

	I will send you my Original Tiger Engine Study sheet off list.

I am in the process of pulling the 289 out of my MKII and found a marking on
the freeze plug which is behind the mounting for the oil filter. I took a
picture of it, mostly for a color match for the blue paint. Did the blue
blocks come in only one shade of blue, or are there more than one shade?
Mine looks to be a slightly green shade of blue.

Sometimes machine shops will mark engine parts they work on.  There were
yellow marks on a block I had machining done on by a local shop.  Got
pictures to prove it if anyone is actually interested.
