I'm finishing assembly of new 948 engine for the Turner.  Just noticed that the 
stud location on the Longman head is quite different from the original.  As a 
result, instead of aiming at the upper radiator outlet, the Thermostat 
Housing/Water Outlet Elbow aims at the other side of the radiator - c. 4 
o'clock.  Radiator outlet location as looking at engine, while standing in 
front of it is at 7 o'clock.  That is now location of one of the three studs 
for the  thermostat housing.

Anyone know if any of the later units aims closer to 7 o'clock, perhaps 5/6 or 
8/9?
