NOS Siamese port F head for the parts nerds (1 Viewer)

I plucked this from a dealer about 15 years ago. Gave it to a friend. He never used it, so back to me it comes as a display piece. It had the original box, but that disappeared. Casting number is 11111-60020, production 10121. It still has the most of the preservative oil coating and machine shavings from when produced. Very slight rusting in a couple of spots, and one valve guide looks to have a mason bee mud plug.

So cool

At this point, to pry it from my hands, it would probably require more than the piece is really worth.

Is that what my 1967 F135 has?

 

[bjowett]

Probably...

 

[JohnnyC]

nice ... was that from toyota in adams?

 

[OGBeno]

Probably...

A lot of those heads from that time period had Toyoda Industry kanbans. Did this one have it too, Brian?

 

[bjowett]

KM Toyota in North Adams.

It likely had the kanban on the box.... my brain says yes.

Would have been a piece of paper with the head in the box.

It's all gone now, just the head the remains.

That was a fun bit of recall from the early days of Dr. Demming’s meetings on lean manufacturing at the major aerospace company I was at in the early 80’s. But I didn’t recall the term kanban, so up to speed now thanks to google .

Head could be a serious toothbrush holder, if not actually used. @CruiserCoLittleRock do you have a build thread on that 45?

haha completely understand. ive got a 1963 Nissan Patrol you would have to pry from my cold dead hands.

the motor in this truck had been worked on in the past (dropped a rod and the inside of the block was abit beat up) and some of the head components are not up to standards.

i do have build pics as well sorted into a folder, we are in the process of getting hte chassis back together, just redid the axles front and rear, put 1978 FJ45 brakes with the huge shoes on the axle to upgrade them and utilize a tandem system instead of that single line junk.

good luck and thanks for the response and i ll post build pics later
