Brian,

A few hints, but definetely not complete

* The earlier heads (like you *should* have) has only 4 valveseals, on the
inlet valves only.
* 1975/76 heads would have a clear 392 stamped on the top, outside.
* F2 heads would have bigger valves, clearly identifyable.
* K7 heads would have a larger combutionchamber cutout in the head. This is
to compensate the small dome on the pistons of the K7, which improved
(lowered) compression (compared to an F1, which also carried the domed
piston).

* IMHO all other heads are the same.......

You're next...:-)))))

Subject: 750 Head Trade Anyone?


Is there any identification numbers anywhere on a given head to determine
what engine it came off of?

I have an early engine #1010918 that I pulled out of a 1975 F1 frame.  The
engine was stuck.  When I removed the head I found a little 6mm cam holder
nut stuck in an exhaust valve.  I'll guess that this was the reason for the
freeze.   I assume the head is from an F1 because it had the factory F style
4 into 1 exhaust .  The exhaust flanges are different the earlier K models
and won't except a factory 4 into 4 setup, right?

I'd like to rebuild this engine one day and use it as a back-up engine for
my 1969KO that I'm restoring.
If anyone knows how to distinguish between head types,  I would love to
trade this perfectly good F1 head for a comparable one to fit my early
engine.  I can send pics.

Thanks,
