Hi,
Having stumbled on the Forum a few months ago I've been inspired to restore my 1960 A10 which I've owned for 20 years but has not seen tarmac for the last 7. Knowing that the original cylinder head was going to require some serious work I bought a replacement from ebay which was reputed to have been overhauled by SRM.
The guides, mating surfaces etc all seem good and I checked that the casting number (if that's the correct way of identification) matched - 1066. Everything measured up well until I looked down the inlet port. On the original head the inlet splits to the two cylinders with a smoothish V shape but on the replacement head there is a flat face as you look down the inlet, more a paper cup profile if you know what I mean, which then splits to the two cylinders.
Can anyone tell me whether this is significant and which of the two is correct?
Thanks
Jeffers
