Good To Know

Q: Should this cylinder head be checked by a machine shop before installation? A: Checking flatness and pressure testing is a good practice on any replacement head. A quick inspection helps catch issues before the head goes back on the block.

Q: Does this head include valves and springs? A: Confirm what is included with the specific listing before ordering. You may need to transfer or purchase valvetrain components separately.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
