That small casting to the left of where the starter sits looks different in the pics...

The long numbers in the square box below the starter housing look different to me

[paul G]

The length of the bolt hole to the left of the starter housing is longer

D shaped casting on top one where oil pressure switch goes

More pronounced rib on long oil gallery on top one

Can't see casting with hole at bottom RHS on top one but could be photo angle.

Surface casting surface finish sh*ttier on one than the other...but could be one was more corrosion weathered than the other.

Casting different ...centre of three holes below VIN pad

Casting hole below LHS of starter looks beefier on top one and hole not central on bottom one

Can't see hole left of starter on one but probably photo angle

Someone forgot to remove all of the residue of the base gasket on the top one prior to painting

The casting around the oil pressure switch is different

Oi, scrapping old gaskets off is my department, 😀😀😀 Its discoloration of the alloy, see it quite often on some of these old engines. You don't really think Graham would let me get away with sub standard work do you 😂😂😂

It was a joke    ...Can't blame you for 'scrapping' gaskets ..they can't be reused  I know your prep is top notch.  ...What's the prize by the way ?

Oh yea, scrapeing not scrapping (bloody spell check)

The piece of wood below the casing is in a different place on the second one.......😳. Is the piece of wood the prize? Should call it by its technical term of 'Upper crankcase assembly supporting block' and sell them on ebay😉
