Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Does this cylinder head come with valves and springs installed? A: This listing covers the cylinder head as described by the part numbers above, so verify the exact contents with the seller before ordering. A: Many replacement heads ship as bare castings, so confirm whether valves, springs, and camshafts are included.

Q: Will I need new head bolts and a gasket? A: Yes, torque-to-yield head bolts and a new head gasket are normally required for this job and are not included with the head. A: Reusing old bolts can cause improper clamping force and premature gasket failure.

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