Hi Neromoto yes as i had to send the head to my machine shop for a new valve seat to be fitted they confirmed it has 9mm valves so should be later series 2 valves thanks for all the advise it really helps.
hi thanks for that i think where i have misunderstood s1 s2 heads is the picture above shows a series 2 head but at glance it looked different to mine but looking again it still has the gasket attached so blocks off some holes, also the fresh air holes on series 1 heads do i need to block these off on mine i assume not as the heads that came off were not blocked and it all seemed ok.
I think where I've misunderstood about the heads is the picture of the head above which is a series 2 must still have the old gasket attached as i can see more cooling holes in my head than i can see on that so thats why i thought they differed by the way the fresh air ports for s1 heads should i block these off on my series 2 or does it not matter as they were not blocked on the heads that came off. thanks Keri
thanks for the pictures of the head and gaskets but to confirm is the picture of the head defo series 2 as it has less cooling holes in it than the 4 heads i have here so I've assumed the series 2 head has more cooling holes than early head? and also the gaskets that came of mine are the same as the ones out of the packets on the pictures with more holes so are these gaskets series one or two just so i can order the correct ones. thanks again for all your help
excellent thanks for clearing that up so does it matter when fitting these to an injection engine i don't think it does as both head types seem to have them from what i can see only reason i ask this is one of the replacements head i am going to use seems to have these holes blocked of with a hard substance which can be cleared if required.
Keri, the holes to the exhaust ports are for the series one emissions system They trick the engine into adding fresh air to the exhaust gases, it reduces the emission readings and. Causes the pop pop on over run.
