25 years ago or so I was at a pretty big name engine builders shop and I mentionned that I noticed most of the engines they were building were painted black. So I said "I see that you guys paint them black to help dissipate heat ?" and he looked at me and replied " no we just use black so oil leaks won't show up so easily !".
