looking at your timing chain picture, how come your cylinder heads are so clean and a different paint color? Are they also new?

I am happy about me putting together a boxer motor, there is a lot of...uniqueness to boxer motors. This is my first time assembling any motor.
But the main concern initially was to see if I did it correctly, like mechanically, with no blatant leaks or things like that. It has good oil pressure every time she fires up, over 100psi on cold starts, so happy about that.
Those are my original heads, and they were machined /resurfaced. They look so new because they were cleaned by a process called vapor hone, no idea what that is, it's what the shop called it. The marks were made by a blue paint pen i had lying around, it was so i could see them easier. I copied everything in this how to video. Good video on timing the FA20 motor.
