Thanks Bill,
I wondered if the DPO might have used odd parts, but didn't know that
there were such things as different rocker pedestals. This is an 8 port
1500, but my parts books didn't show such subtle differences.
The bottom of that engine looked so original, I thought everything might be
original.
Thanks for the tip.
Cheers, Fred

> Hi Fred,
> The 6-port heads have a different shaft and pedestal arrangement. I
can't tell you the differences off the top of my head, but they certainly
aren't the same as a 1500. Maybe your dpo put parts of an 1147cc engine on
there?
