First I though you color coated circuits (like cooling circuit, oil circuit), but that doesn't seem to be the case here, one too many colors for me, actually like the chrome valve cover that I've seen on this from time to time.

Me too at first sight I was thinking that the color matched the different circuits which would have been clever ! Maybe a thought for next time

. Everything that's not red was removed and serviced, valve cover means new seal and valve clearances, heat exchangers repaired and pressure tested, new oil coolers, new freshwater pump, rebuilt harmonic balancer, ....
That dang gearbox, I should paint that sometime... Maybe bright yellow? Or stick to blues and reds?

What was involved in rebuilding the harmonic balancer?
So all painting was by brush? No spraying at all?
And yes, now do the gearbox. If I had a vote, it would be for white.....that would be a great contrast.
I sprayed everything that's not red. Everything that I had taken off the engine.
Harmonic balancer was some **** to remove, but once I got it off, did USPS priority to Dale Manufacturing. They just popped it in the mail today (2 days after they got it). I guess they get rid of all the old rubber, clean it up, pour in brand new rubber, let it set, then paint the thing. I'll get back to you on Monday how they look, but I'm optimistic. $130 bucks per balancer - not too bad.
Did they rebuild yours or take a rebuild from the shelf?
Not sure, but I think they rebuilt mine. They were a small-ish operation, and he said he had only done a handful of Lehman balancers before.
Now do flow arrows!
