Ah feck then!! there is a head for sale on ebay but the guy aint sure whether or not its an m42 or an m44 head!!
What are the differences??
I know the m44 is actually nearly a 2ltr but i was lead to believe that it was just an overbored m42, is this not correct then??

The M42 has better cams, it has bucket tappets and the M44 has rockers over normal tappets. Its a very different design.Blackie_No1 wrote:Ah feck then!! there is a head for sale on ebay but the guy aint sure whether or not its an m42 or an m44 head!!
