Help identifying an ariel head

Post by Ronbaxter » Fri Nov 13, 2020 1:57 am

I got this head with a bunch of ariel parts. I was told it was a 1938 1000cc head but i don't know what it is. The rocker box is one I have never seen. The head and rocker box are separable. Any ideas? The rocker box has number 1027 and it looks like the head number is NG 15474. I can take and post more pictures if that will help! Thanks.

Well the forum does not seem to work too well for me.

Yes, 1938 works for dating and it is from a 4G overhead cam square 4 it appears. Nice find and looks in decent shape. I have such an engine but have not found a frame yet over here in North America. Too many projects to be looking hard right now, have to get the SG31 550cc and the 1937 VH going first.
