1912-15 REO

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the 1912 and 1915 R-5, 4 cyl engines other than serial numbers?

I believe the 1912 has smaller exhaust ports. Also the upped end of the pushrods on the 1915 have a sort of mushroom on them. The 1912 have a clevis pin affair. I have a parts book that lists the part and their interchangeability.

Is the book for sale or is there any chance of getting a copy of that parts book? I have the parts book that covers 1912 only.

I bought the book from a guy and I can't remember his name. I think it's available from the REO club although I'm not a member. I filled out an app but never sent it in. I'm doing it tomorrow. The book is oversize and bound with plastic. I quess Kinkos could copy it. I have no idea what it would cost though and the nearest Kinkos to me is about 30 miles. Next time I'm near I'll take it in. Do you have a 1912? What condition is it in? I just finished bringing a 1914 back from the dead. Here's some pictures. http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll33/yonahrr/

I have 1912 touring that was restored in the 60's. Still in decent condition. I joined the REO club last year and went to the meet in Canada.
