Hi all :

I've been informed that Moss has corrected the latest version of their
catalog, so that it correctly lists the 'Le Mans' TR3 head as a low
port, and lists the correct manifold gasket for it.  Still no mention of
the phase-in between TS12606E and TS13052E (but I only have Bill
Piggott's word that happened anyway <g>).
