passage in the manifold is blocked. Conversely, the 1438 manifold cannot be<br />

used on the other heads unless the passage in the head is blocked.<br />

• The center-to-center combustion chamber spacing is the same on all heads. The<br />

combustion chamber sizes vary with the USA 2000cc amongst the largest,<br />

affording the lowest compression ratio.<br />

• The 1438 <strong>and</strong> 1608 heads can be distinguished from other twin cam by the size<br />

of the water passage on the head face in front of cylinder #1. The width of this<br />

passage on these heads is 14mm (0.55"). The 1592cc, 1756cc & 2000cc heads<br />

have a 9mm (0.35") wide passage. Because of this, the 1438cc & 1608cc heads<br />

will not work on the 84 mm bore engines unless this water passage is welded.<br />

• The exhaust port size is nearly identical on all DOHC heads. The intake port size<br />

varies. Generally, the smallest port size is found on the 1438cc. The 1608cc,<br />

1756cc & Volumex heads share approx the same, large intake port size.<br />
