just push one of the valves down.....steel valve seats are steel looking, brass (or 
whateva eva it is) is orangey looking

dont assume, as the closed (peanut) a87 i have, has brass valve seat eg. no good for 
long use on ULP

Subject: cylinder head info. 

Im rebuilding a L18 for a blow through turbo and want to make sure ive got
the low comp (8.5:1) head.

What ive got is an A87 made in japan head. The head is off so i can easily
check anything. I believe its the A87 that can be either low comp or the
peanut high comp type.

also how do i check if this head has steel valve seats, as i want to run
premium unleaded, or can i just assume it does ar its a japan made head?

Thanks guys,

Chris King.
