The casting number on the head off of my '52 M is 8060 DC. What do the D and the C stand for and is it a high compression head or is it the fuel head? Thanks.
Dan

IH part number system was 8060D was original design, any small change would be 8060DA-B-C, any major change would be a different part number, this head subbed to 8574DCX, on Super M and correct replacement for M gasoline. 8574DCX was assembly, X represented that. If you wanted the whole story about IH system it would take a lot more space than we have here.

Dan, I don't have an M parts book here to tell you just what the application is, but the DC indicates that it's a third-generation modification(C) of the fourth (D) variation of the head for that engine. The way the system worked, in general, was that any two heads that started with 8060D could be swapped. The C indicated a minor change that wouldn't affect fit or hurt performance. If they made a major change so that the new part wasn't interchangeable, they would have changed the D to E, or changed the number entirely. Hope that makes some sense. Scotty
