Engine rebuild Q's

Well the block is away being rebored & the crank is being reground. Now the major bits I am OK with but I do have a couple of questions.

1)I was thinking of giving it a lick of paint before it goes back in, what colour were these originally?

2)how do you change core plugs, with what tools, and should I use a sealant? Couple of them are weeping and I would like to change the
lot, for peace of mind and so I can shift the crap in the water spaces-when I took the drain plug out of the block I thought at first the hole didn't go through there was so much silt behind it.

3) does anyone know of a souce of diz advance springs? Someone did tell me (forget who, sorry!) but I have lost the bit of paper I wrote it down on...

Well that's all I can think of at the moment, thanks in advance!
