hiya all
i have been offered a cylinder head for my 1986 325 sport but how do i know if its from a 320 - 323 or 325
is there any difference between the early 325 heads and the later 325 cylinder heads?
many thanks for your help

I'd take head's part number and go to or call a dealer for a check. I think that's the safest possible ways.

It will have a mark on the side of the head, between cylinders 1 & 2 on the exhaust side. I have a pic somewhere

You can just see in the pic, mine's stamped 2.5 / 2.7 for a 2.5 engine.
