I recently sold a model B cylinder head to a guy who had one of these Russian jeeps his had frost damage . The head I sold him was the Detroit/Dagenham one with the "C" embossed between the no2 and 3 spark plug location .As we know this was put there so stock men could not get confused with the "B" on the police head . As this situation would not arise in Russia I asked if the Russian head still had a "C" and sure enough it did . That would indicate the USA supplied molds were still being used .
