Nice,
on checking... I lied to you, mine is a 52.. :(
I assume they dated it using the radiator stamp (10m 51) I should have checked before I shot my mouth off!
Calvin says '52.
Number is 26161127..
engine number is 26103251
Engine "possibly siezed" (either it was or wasn't??) but Ill pour some diesel
in and let it sit before I do anything.
still trying to work out what it should and shouldnt have..
its rough but very honest... Ill whack some pics in a different thread,
here are some shots of the hoodstick that may help (or not) the board is one inch squares but the rule is at times on inches and others on MM.... sorry!
the end with the bolt is windscreen end... (this is from pass side but I suspect no difference)
