Can anybody please provide me with good quality/detailed pictures of these 2 cylinder heads' combustion chambers?
Looking for stock/ unmodified pics, my online search has not been any help. Either the quality is no good, or I have been unable to verify the actual cast of the heads.
Info as follows:
Head #8 Used in 1985-88 cars WITHOUT turbos, and 1985-88 Rangers without roller cam. It has an additional hole tapped for the intake manifold in the #1 port. D shaped intake ports and closed heart shaped chamber. Casting #'s E59E-GB, E69E-AB.
Head #9 Used on 1985-88 cars WITH turbos. No air holes in exhaust ports. Open chambers, D shaped intake ports. Valvesprings are heavier and the exhaust valves are made of an inconel material to withstand the increased heat of the turbocharged engine. The most common casting # is E5ZE-EA/AB however there are more out there.
Whilst my motor and truck were at a friends house torn down for clean up and rebuild, my turbo head had been hauled off for scrap by said friend. And n/a head is popping gaskets left and right due to excessive comp. ratio.
I'm trying to do this on a tight budget, so please if you have any of the necessary parts and can part with them at a low but reasonable price please let me know. I can't afford a replacement turbo head, nor list/ ratail prices for this stuff. This is my daily driver, and I will ,ake it worth anyone while if they are able to work with me on price/payment for parts.
What I'm shooting for is a comparison which I can use to machine my n/a ranger head, to match as best I can to the turbo head. Prolly will have a machine shop do it. Once I have a comparison , I will begin this endeavor. I've pretty much resigned myself to having to replace exh. Valves with the incanel ones, or possibly with the larger int/exh valves, new springs, locks and retainers; solid lifters, and roller cam/followers iF can aford this. Also, hardened valve seats... are they fairly cheap or expensive to acquire? Would they be necessary for my application?
Any and all input/ offers appreciated!!
