A friend who races spitfires told me how to tell a 1300 block from a 1500
block. He told me to rub my hand down the side of the block castng and feel
for bulges. He said "If it is smooth it is a 1300 or earlier block, if it
has bulges it is a 1500. The bulges are fore crank clearence". If you try it
check crank clearances closely.
