At last, omegabenz,
Got a long talk with my friend and mechanic yesterday.
I even remembered to ask him about the Star Magazine article as I promised you. So here is the website where I read the entire article.
The other sites will show you some realy good pictures from the engine in original colors. That was original question, isn't it ?
The last site does the same but more : you'll see the engine we hope to lay hands on for the "overhaul" and hope to make it running again ! I can see this engine every day if I want to. So if it's necessary, I can take pictures of details and mail them to you if you want to. Just let me know...

Your mechanic will be pleased!
Have fun!
