APJM grey green rocker cover with red sump - is on my 4/57 - await further replies before taking this as fact.
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

That's the first time someone else mentioned a red sump. My 57 also had a red sump as well as a red crank pulley, matching the red fan and water pump pulley. That was my first engine and I recall the color to be a bit lighter than the common engine green. Has any of this ever been documented?
