Notice:
Factory installed was the "Open Deck" engine which had free-standing cylinder liners and a open water jacket.
The matching "Open Deck" cylinder heads had a spark plug thread length of 12,7mm.
In November 1967, the so-called "closed deck" engines were introduced. These can be identified by their spark plug thread length of 19,0mm.
