What engine parts are chrome?

Ah, I’m just talking engine cases here.

But - was the screws painted originally? I ordered new shiny ones for most of the engine though…

Oddjob:
The points cover screws were chromed, raised countersunk ones. Same for the cam end caps screws.

All the casing screws were zinc plated.

alexdecker:
Got the engine painted. Was a little in doubt - do you guys usually paint the tappet covers as well as the oil covers etc? Basically all that screws in? Or do you polish them?
