Hey guys,
I have a set of heads that were rebuilt by a previous owner. I am gathering parts( and the nerve) to attempt my first build on an extra engine I have. The engine is a 1960 1600S and I am hoping these heads will work. From what I can gather it appears they have possibly been fly cut and were made 10th month of 1959? I would love to know what you guys see or do not see as well as what may need to be done. Also these heads had no exterior markings other than A and B. Looking forward to hearing any thoughts/advice
Thank you
J

1962 and later. Looks like they were flycut to fit the 74.5mm bore 1300 cylinders. That's what I had to do for my 1300cc race engine.
Sorry; not going to work for your purpose.

Re: Help ID'ing these Heads
Thank you Vic,
After looking for my digital calipers, to no avail......
I measured the ID of the cylinder sealing surface and came up with approx 3.650 inch( 92.7mm) according to my trusty Helios Vernier caliper ( that I had forgotten how to read). At least they are Made in Germany. Would those dimensions be more in line with factory standard of the time?
Again I appreciate all the knowledge

Re: Help ID'ing these Heads
That’s the o.d. of the sealing surface. What’s the i.d. of that?

Re: Help ID'ing these Heads
Thanks Martin, Looks like the ID is approx 84mm?
Would that place it between standard bore and a big bore?
