Hi all,

im looking to see if it’s possible to put one of the new DT175 heads from eBay on a DT175E engine. The heads are slightly different (see picture). This would be for the 1978-81 dt175 bikes. Differences of heads pic

The thing I’m more concerned with is the intake opening is bigger on the new DT175 head

Thanks,

I would think your looking at the wrong end, the heads will fit, with a reed block that size the transfer ports will be bigger. You can see that from the change in barrel mounting bolts as the old ones, (that strip) have been deleted.

You need to see what is happening at the bottom, a base gasket would help. Deck height and such is prob the same. Piston crown and combustion chamber may be different. 

One of those things you just have to try but very likely will fit, i would get the matching piston and head tho.
