pitstang420 · Feb 9, 2009

Hello I have a set of heads sitting around and was wondering if there any good there stamped A3B on them they are 58.2cc and 1.78 / 1.45 is the info on them I think Thanks for any help

Flip the heads upside down and see if you see any other stampings.

Allright thanks I will go out there and see if I see any other stamps on it but thanks for any help I can get I'v had these heads for a couple years and never really thought about them till now since the do have a smaller 58.2cc thought that might help with compression

Why would there be stamped/embossed ID on the combustion side of the head?

If these are in fact A3 heads (A3 heads I'm thinking of)... I'd buy the off you

The early 289 & 302 heads were stamped on the lifter side of the intake port (underside)

Are the valveguides canted?
Are the valvespring seats offset from each other?
Are the heads aluminum or steel?

You'll want to knock that off with a grinder if you decide to use these heads which IMO are not as efficient as say... E7s.
