[TR] Identifying Spitfire Cylinder head # TKC 2748

[Andrew Mace]

 Well, a quick Google search on TKC2748 would lead me to believe that it's
probably a 9.0:1 Spitfire 1500 head, circa 1976 (but not California?).

I have a Cylinder Head that came with the 69 Spitfire Mk III I bought.
The Stamped # is TKC 2748, Casting #'s are (RKO 0589) and (V3315 2840)
Maybe the Casting #'s can be off a # or so, I swiped them with some Emery
Cloth
but still not clearly legible.

The Intake Valves look to be about 1.380" and it does have Brass Plugs in the
Air Ports
above the Exhaust ports. I'd say it's definitely a 1500, but I'd like to know
what year.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Wayne Lee
