    i know i posted this the other day but i didnt get the answers i was looking for, can you fit a mk1 vtr head to a mk vtr with the early 90bhp grey top, and can i use my existing tb and inlet etc? got the impression it could be done but then someone said they werent sure?

    the black top is 90bhp and so is the silvertop so i shouldnt see there being any problem the layout is the same aswell.

    its just ones non roller rocker and the other is roller rocker.

    but if your swapping heads then it shouldnt cause any problems i wouldnt of thought dude, hope that helps ya.

    although im no expert.

    it should all bolt in ok
    its parts like sensors that may cause issues with no space for some iirc
    but ive seen guys do similar things before so it should be ok

    it will be fine i reckon.

    no diff to sticking a rallye head on vtr bottom end like my silver top.
    same conversion practically
