Gents, I'm in need of a head for a 91 600e, I've found a 550 head locally (Brisbane) and was hoping it would be a straight bolt on.
Will the 550 head fit the 600 barrel with a 600 head gasket? Is there any real difference in the heads or chambers that will effect fitment/running?
Lastly are the cams the same lift/duration etc?
Cheers

Re: 550-600 head
I wouldnt have thought so, head fitment differs between early and later 600's.
