Left and right cylinder head
On the old flathead forum there was a article about the part numbers for the center water outlet and it was possible to know witch was left and right, dose anyone know how to decode the numbers? I cannot remember.

Re: Left and right cylinder head
6049 = Right Side
6050 = Left Side The Prefix to these part numbers is determine by what model/year the engine is....

Re: Left and right cylinder head
IF both are drilled then "most" likely it 1940 or up as one would be for the right hand temperature probe and the other would have been for the water heater outlet/shut off valve!!

As for both of the 6050's that is correct as the only thing in the left head is the second temperature probe!!!! |

Re: Left and right cylinder head
Are the head gasket different for RH and LH on a 8BA?

I have a 1937 21 stud engine with cast iron heads. Neither of the heads has a part number, but one head has a single tapped hole for the temp sensor and the other head does not have any tapped hole. The tapped hole faces to the rear when the head is mounted on the left side of the engine, for the temp sensor probe. |

Re: Left and right cylinder head
The wiring diagrams were not always updated to the latest configuration, so it could have been a 41 mid-year change.

Re: Left and right cylinder head
The correct heads for a 1937 engine are 77-6050A Iron and 78-6050 Aluminum
Both sides are the same in either case. |
