Intake manifold on a 49 "H" Super 8 (and tappet question)...

Posted by D-train On 2012/3/5 23:28:36
I've just started the long anticipated, and maybe dreaded, engine removal and rebuild process. That's a story for another time.

The engine in my 22nd series is an "H" engine. So it is not original. ...and I've already seen some signs of poor previous work. So as I'm tearing this down, I noticed that the intake has a "288" cast into it, on the top? Is this an incorrect intake? I looked in the Hollander book and they list two different intakes for the standard and supers.

Also-How can I tell if this engine has hydraulic lifters/tappets? I thought that I remember reading that there is an "H" at the end of the engine serial. My engine code is a "H405250". So no hydraulics?

Thanks!

Mark
