Was the water pump painted as they came out of the factory or were they unpainted cast? Can't tell from pictures I have.

Thanks, Tinkerman

I painted my water pump black during my restoration in 1990. No TRA or VTR judge ever said it wasn't right. The flange that the thermostat housing sits on is left unpainted and I have lost points because they thought they saw a rusty appearance where it sticks out a bit beyond the body of the housing.

I installed a water pump unpainted and the water pump rusted. I found this kinda wired because I thought there would be enough heat or oil mist in there either from the breather pipe or just oil vapor, but that thing rusted anyway. What I am saying is I would paint it even if it was not that way from the factory because mine looks poor.
