so earlier this year i bought a 272, turned out to be locked up, I've stripped it down and had to break one piston out, but that bore still looks clean and undamaged, the odd part is it seems to be a mix of parts.

this is what i found;
BLOCK - ECG-6015-A  Cleveland foundry markings
HEADS - ECZ-G Cleveland foundry markings
CRANK - EC  29(then a big hole) lol
RODS - EBU
PISTONS - ECZ
ROUGH BORE MEASUREMENT - 96.5MM = 3.80" (measured with vernier callipers)
INTAKE - ECG-6065-B Cleveland foundry markings
TIMING COVER - ECZ-G Cleveland foundry markings
ROCKERS - australian passenger side (left side) all ECG-6564 australian drivers side (right side) a mix of EAN-6564-B1, EAN-6564-B2, ED-6564-B2

so im guessing its an australian 272, bored for 312 pistons, and they put the good heads, intake and high ratio rockers on it...???

Your guess appears correct. Not sure on all the rocker casting #s, but the EANs I believe are the low ratio 1.43s.

can anyone shed some more light on the rocker arms?  i don't understand why there would be both high and low in the same motor, they all look exactly the same!

is there anyway to measure and check?

Since the engine is a mixture of different parts, someone apparently put it together who may not known  of the different ratios.

I think that Ted did a write up on using hi ratio for intake and  standard rocker arms for exhaust. Helped with torque or something.

Search on here for rocker arms, or it may have been on Teds' website

Here is a link to the Mummert site, main thing is that the oiling groove is deep enough,
