    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

will an 80 550 head fit on 82 cylinders?

I got a good deal on a 80 head which is in great shape.
My motor is an 82 and the head on it has a few stripped
cam cap screws and a stripped spark plug. It also holed
a piston at some point and gets poor compression on
that cylinder. Also the new head has 4K miles on it (my
old head has about 35K).

So will the 80 head fit? Looks like it has all the holes
in the right place but the cooling fins look a bit taller.
Will everything line up?
 
It should, the only differences between the 80-82 models is the valve cover got an extra bolt in late 81 IIRC.
