I think back in that era there would often be an L or an H cast into the upper surface of the cylinder head, just have a look around outside the rocker cover. It's been a very long time since I've looked under the bonnet of one of those but there's plenty on here that are still familiar with those motors.

You have never driven the endless miles of nothing in the backblocks of OZ numpty go soak you head ladaturd. Hammering along at WOT was quite normal for hours on end and that 192 went well X2 twinchoke inlet manifold big valve head with S type exhaust headers and 3.08 diff it cruised easily at 145. you dorks brought vup on Jappas know nothing about real cars especially you ladaturd time you joined the other trolls like belky

I have a spare steel crank, 'S' cam, X2 twins (gunna use them while making another manifold for the SUs), and a 12 port head I'm tickling up. Steel cranks were available in all red motors upto 1967. The 202 head is no different to other red heads.all valves were the same. Your best bet would be to use a 161 or 173 head (with adjustable rocker gear) ToyBoy3, there will be an 'H' or 'L' at the back, passenger side of your head. Unless you have a 149, where it will be towards the front. same side.
