Hi Barry

According to “The Source book” your car is very early 1932.  The chassis and engine are contemporary so it may well be the original engine.

The engine is fixed by the mounting holes in the chassis but it could be that the floor pan may not be bolted in the correct place?  The engine bulkhead gap on my RK is close (about 1/2”).

It may be that engine removal may be the only way to get at that manifold nut.  Once out you can have a better go at head removal.

Cheers

Howard
