No, they don't come like that from the factory.  Someone has pulled the engine apart to have that done.  It's a process known as "Diamond Cutting."

No sweat, glad to help.  The company most likely to have done the decorative work is at the link below.  They actually hold and do their best to enforce a patent on this machining process based on a bit of chimera about it being a method to support engine cooling.

They do (look good).  Honestly though the silver cylinders do the least to show the effect.  There is so little contrast compared to other colors.  The granite cylinders are great for a background to the diamond cut.  Even old ugly black cylinders do well.  Red though, red does best :apple: !
