What's a G6 head?...never heard of a code for heads.

Hey...I actually heard a DSM part I didn't know about...I thought the heads were just 1g heads and 2g heads...whats a G6 head? You can't search for 2 letter words in here (which sucks sometimes), so I couldn't find anythig about it. Is it just the head with the biggest ports or something?

Thanks

Personally I never heard of it. I know that a G6 is a new Pontiac vehicle if that helps with your question at all.

Why search, when I can do it for you?

Naw I read a guy's post on BCDSM sayin that he checked his head and it's a G6, and another guy sayin that it'd be sweet if a certain 6/4 bolt combo had a G6 head as well, so I dont think that's it, but thanks.

Those are casting numbers on the head itself...


The later 7 Bolt heads share these same casting numbers (G6/15, G6/5). According to RRE, these are the "Preferred" 1st to 2nd gen heads for swapping.

Major differences are the 11mm head studs on the later 1G 7 Bolt, vs the early 1G 6 Bolts's 12mm bolts, 2 larger 10mm exhaust manifold studs, and better cooling characteristics of the later heads. -To quote RRE, see this...

-Right above the coolant/thermostat housing, between the cams (for the pic in my previous post). The other casting numbers for the head's version can be found under the oil diverter valve that supplys oil to both cam's oil feed passages for the lifters & rollers (under valve cover, See Pic). From my experience, I've seen mostly the M5 or M4 versions were in the 1st gen 7 bolt motors.
