I of course meant CT16801E.

Also my mistake, my TR4A SPC shows P/N 307455.

But the Moss UK listing is still clearly wrong.  They left out the early TR3
low port manifold entirely (P/N 302118), and the cylinder head introduced at
TS9350E was the "Le Mans" head, still a low port design.  TS13052E was the
introduction of the "high port" head.

Cleaning would depend on condition; I would probably degrease first and then
use glass bead blasting.  But generally I just clean up the mating surfaces
with a file and install it "as found" otherwise <G>
