Didn't the Healey tractor engines have red blocks while the cars were Heale=
y green blocks?

Curious as my block is red and the ID is covered over by the rebuilders pla=

... appears to be no longer available in California.  Amazon has it, but
won't ship to either my address or my parents', and my favorite local parts
house said they 'yanked it off the shelves' at all their warehouses.

Best (only?) alternative is Joe Gibbs Racing 15W-50, at $10+/qt. Ouch.
