What’s Included – Fitted to the Head (Confirmed Configuration Only)

• Valve springs, spring seats and retainers — if valves are fitted
• Valve stem seals and valve guides — fitted
• Camshaft — SOHC, 6-valve profile — only if your stock is a complete assembly; bare castings do not include the camshaft

• Core plugs and oil gallery plugs — installed

What you transfer from your original head: camshaft and rocker assembly (if not included in your stock), mechanical lifters, valve cover, timing belt kit (belt, tensioner and idler), head bolts (always fit new stretch bolts), head gasket and remaining gaskets, fuel injectors, spark plugs, ignition leads or coil pack, intake manifold, exhaust manifold and any sensors or brackets mounted to the head.
