Just blew mine up last night. I'm in a bind.
Update: Found one on the Vortex, paid for it the first week of May, and it still hasn't shown up. So I guess I'm still looking for a head. And deaneid from TN, I might add.

Hmm. I noticed that he never responds on his threads. I IMed him about 3 weeks ago on the TD motors he has. He reponded immediately. But I do notice alot of interest in his thread, but no repsonses. He might be on vaca.
As for the head, I'd say just find a good, late mechanical head (ones with the suffix 'F' are good), and just put the sodium-filled valves in it. NA or Turbo are exactly the same in every respect except the valves (as far as I know/am concerned). I really think the claims that the heads are different is a load of crap.
Nope, not on vacation, just "busy."
I thought the pre-cups/chambers were different & they had a lower CR. ??
I was told by an Aluminum Cylinder Head shop in Portland that any E or F casting is ok for a Turbo Diesel.
I have three, two are E castings and one is an F casting.
I'd just go with any good Mechanical Head, use Turbo diesel Exhaust Valves and run it.
Okay, so does anyone have a 1.6L solid head for sale? 11mm haedbolt would be best, actually.
I received a tracking # for my Vortex head, so I hope my search is over. :roll:
