QuestionI just pulled my head from my 1930 Model A because it was cracked due to frost.
All replacement heads I see online as well as the gaskets are different than my head.
My head has the longer slots/water triangular ports on the exhaust side and it has the port in
between cylinder 2 and 3.
The heads I found online, almost all have the shorter triangular water slots on the exhaust side with the water port in between cylinders 2 and 3.
Or I also found a head with the long slots, but no port between cylinders 2 and 3.
Are these all interchangeable? What are the differences in compression ratio’s?
My engine block has the long ports matching my current head.
I would appreciate your feedback,
AnswerI am not familiar with the various heads that were used, but I'm sure Snyders knows which one will fit your car. Call their help line: 330 549 5313
Really sorry I can't be of much help to you. Good luck. jack
Ian, I have been thinking of your problem. I have never seen just the head break due to ice. The block should go first. Just above the starter there is a ledge that comes out above the starter, then there is the engine deck, then the head. They usually split in the ledge area. You need a mirror to see it, but you better check that out. You may have a cracked block.
If Snyders can't help you, get back to me and we can do the picture drill and look harder for the answer on the heads. jack
