I have a 12G940 head fitted to a 1275 S with the following numbers stamped into the head:
21680 (stamped between the rocker cover edge and the thermostat housing
GCR 16252 TC (stamped between the thermostat housing and the rear edge of the head.
Could anyone shed a light on what these may mean?
The 333 gearbox on it has 12FA12065 stamped into it. What does this mean?

Re: Head and gearbox stamped numbers
Abri, any chance you might have swapped any numbers there? Maybe the 21680 is 12G1805... or a part of it?
I have no idea about the GCR number, maybe it had been modified in the past.
The 12FA number is correct for your car/engine.

Re: Head and gearbox stamped numbers
Weren't GCR a cylinder head company in the 1980's? I've a feeling they may have been in the Salisbury area.
