Do I have a 1g Head on my '95 GSX??

[ChrisNelson]

Well, I bought this '95 GSX from a guy locally and he never said that the head WASN'T a 2g head, so I never thought of it until now.

I'm trying to put the head on the block, but the intake gasket doesn't seem to work quite right.

Here's a picture of how the intake gasket sits on the head:

If I was to try and use this gasket, all of the portwork would be for nothing! WTF

And, obviously, these are just the other shots of the head so you can see what it looks like!

Is anyone able to confirm my suspicions about my engine head?

 

[igopoopy]

ports seem to be 1g size
maby a 2g ported or 1g head

2g head ported for a 1g intake manifold, and they did a shitty job.

Check the stud size on the exhaust manifold side.

What makes you say this?

 

[carwizard1]

What size are the head studs 11mm or 12mm? 11mm is 2g 12mm is 1g. Unless he drilled out the 2g head and tapped his block for 12mm. I would think that would be unlikely.

Porting a head is something nearly anyone can do, but to do it right you'd need a flow bench or something equivelant to do it correctly. Just hogging out the runners or I guess he kinda bell style ported them isn't the correct way to go about it. His work is choppy, uneven and rough.
