Got this given yesterday, i initially thought it was a n/a head but it measures at 73.5mm. Has some weird plate bolted to it & dowels that i cant remember seeing on any other heads. Excuse the poor camera phone pics..
Had to unbolt it to see if it was hiding any nasties, Holes are tapped properly.
Valve springs look different but i presume o.e?
On the plus side the mating face is in good shape, no det marks & looks a lot better than in pics. Plug holes are ok. No idea if its like a banana though need to get the straight edge on it. Also looks like it has extensive flowing done to inlet ports.
Any opinions on the dodgy plate? To me it looks like its a load of rubbish..if its straight is it worth a look, As the van head needs a plug hole heli-coiling & stud removing, also valve guides.
