Anyone have the color codes for the red, green and blue valve covers?

 

Do you mean CAM covers?

 

Cam cover/valve/rocker cover, same thing different names . Been looking for this for a while, but cant find any info.

 

RED = Sierra 3 door (YBB), Sierra RS500 (YBD), Saph RWD (YBB) and early Saph 4 x 4 (YBJ).

GREEN = Late Saph 4 x 4 (YBJ revised emissions friendly engine spec to Euro 1504 trim).

BLUE = Escort 92/93/94 (YBT) "big turbo" model.

 

I actually meant the actual color codes? Want to repaint them, and i need the correct code

 

Dont know, I'm no good on technical stuff...........

Sure someone will post up the RAL or BS codes.....
