I am rebuilding an early S1 (sand cast?) cylinder head which has an engraving on front. Any chance this could be from Miles Wilkins? Also the inlet ears are welded which I am told was told was a mod to strengthen them. Anybody familiar with this?
Thanks
Chris

My guess is that the 'miles' with the zero in front of it is just that, zero miles and not Miles Wilkins.
As for the welding, yes I have seen this before. I've seen it both as a repair and for strengthening, but it's usually the result of breaking the ears off the intake (after the fact).
