This caused me some great confusion for a while.  While no one could answer
why I could see red on so many un-rebuilt late engines, I came to the
conclusion that they used a red primer coat, then black paint.  (And this is
a different red than the earlier engines.)  As the black paint comes off,
you see the red.
