[Vwdiesel] Green Striped Engine

[Val Christian]

My 91 Jetta NA has a green block.  Green blocks were common, and every factory 
new engine up to and including my 91 have been green blocks.  I have not seen
a green stripe.  I have not seen a green oil pan (always black or rust on older units).


I have seen black blocks, but not on any cars that I've bought new.  I think
I had a early 80's Rabbit (my 82 or 80) with a black block, but that 
car had an extremely colorful history.  No pun intended.
