I know Peterbilt painted engines white, but KW and International liked their engines red. I'm not sure if KW painted engines white as well, but I know about red. I'm just not sure if it was every single engine like Peterbilt. From what Tim tells me, if you install a Detroit Diesel 8V92 Silver, you can leave it silver as Detoit Diesel apparently used to fuss about painting engines white. But it seems that by the mid 80's, everyone installed engines in their factory color. CAT yellow, DD green, and Cummins Beige. I know a lot of older Kenworths I have seen that still have their original engine have them painted red. It seems from drivers I've talked to that older trucks tended to get a new engine if the owner kept them a long time. I hope that helps a little.
