Hi
I have my heads off my car and the code is C40E i just want to know is this correct does anyone have any clues, its a 65 mk1a, also want to know how the fuel pipe runs under the bonnet what side it comes up
cheers paul.

Hi Paul,

I'm not sure about the head code numbers, but the fuel line runs along the chassis on the right-hand (driver's) side. It has a flexible join where it comes off the chassis and has a clamp that bolts on to the engine block running up in front of the generator bracket and dip stick.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Robin.

Hi Paul, here's a link that Graham kindly sent to me a while back.
I thought it may help with the number.

Hi
thanks for that in that link is said heads off a 289 ?
not sure now just wanted to make sure there 260 heads

cheers paul

Paul,

The 289 IIRC even in the stock setup had larger valaves than those of the MKI tiger.. probably got traded a while back for better flow.. are you trying to get the motor factory correct? If not.. id stick with the 289 heads.

It might not be a bad idea to post up a couple of pics of the head and the code.

Hi
If they are 289 heads i am ok with that, I will put some pictures on the site when i get them back from the engineering shop , they need a bit of work as had a head gasket gone.

cheers paul
