I don't know weather the Hanno ever came with a blue head from the factory or not??

I have seen a blue Hanno head in a photo before...It was in a for-sale listing of used parts from two Hanno engines...There was one red head and one blue head in the photo..I tried to buy the parts but they had just sold...I bought a Bolly EQ-62 pipe from the same dude though...

Oddly enough this guy was in Canada too...Humm..Maybe someone re-anodized some heads up there??? I defiantly wouldn't rule out someone stripping and re-anodizing as that would be pretty easy to do..

I have also seen photos of blue Hatori pipes in the past..I'm not sure it was the Hanno pipe though...

Maybe it's possible O.S. did a limited production of blue heads?? I can't really make out the serial number but I thought it looked like a pretty high number (6***)...

The engine appears to have the correct pump and carb...If it's got a Shadel piston/liner and new bearings the only other "Hanno specific" item would be the crank (He seems to know his stuff so I'd imagine he put some decent stainless or ceramic berings in there)

One other detail is the head appears to be correct...It's a machined aluminum head which is included on the Hanno engine -vs- a cast aluminum head of the standard RF-P...

Any more Detectives out there?? These are just my observations...

I like the blue head allot...
