I don't think you can post a zipped file here. You have to unzip the file, and post individual JPG photos, after you upload them to some site like Photobucket.

Can't you just take 2 pictures with your phone, upload them to Photobucket, and then post them here? It's really pretty easy.

Question: can you see the oil pump on your engine?

OK, there is another way to tell, lets concentrate on the rocker boxes on top of the heads.

Do you see 3 pieces, a bottom, middle spacer, and a top cover?

Or, do you see only 2 pieces, a bottom, and a top cut in a wedge shape similar to two door stops on top of eachother?

You could also measure the height of the lifter blocks down by the cam chest, another way to tell..

What have you?

OP,

Maybe this will help you. Check out the rocker boxes, cam covers, visible vs non-visible oil pump.
