wild foamy Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 check the distance between the studs and see if you can find a head that matches that configuration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will probably find that apart from the shape of the head fins and possibly the internal combustion chamber shape any 175 head will drop on. Possibly right up to 81/2. If you look at the manuals these engines are more evoloution than re invention so a lot of stuff didnt change bar ig systems and cosmetics.
