12A Irons
#1
Got a set of irons at the yard from an unknown year 12A, what are some defining characteristics between years? Also there is some rust on the faces of them, is this going to be an issue in using them or can I just get them resurfaced? I'll try to get some pics up later on of them, Im plannin to bridge them or just use'em to practice on if they are junked.

there arent much differences between the years.
74-75, black painted, big ports
76-78, black painted, smaller ports
79-80, nitrided
81-82, has an oil pressure tap on the rear iron, they have a heater hose nipple, not the screw in hose thingee
83-85, has a T heater hose for the beehive oil cooler

j9fd3s, I have an oddball rear iron. It's a nitrided Y casting with the oil pressure hole, and the heater fitting is pressed in but the same length as a GSL-SE. I'm thinking it's J-spec.
could be they had the 4 port 13b after 78 in japan. could also be an 81-82 12a

These irons are pretty pitted come to find out, whats the max I can take off of these things without going over the service limit? Also do you think a normal machine shop would be able to do these, I cant see it being too much more difficult than decking a 4 cylinder block?
