Having said that, you're head is NG? Any head you acquire will need to get new guides. You can't avoid replacing them. Most heads will also need to be milled flat. You would much prefer to do that to only one surface, not both.

Thank You, Thank You, You answered my question. Now I know what to look for. Basicly, the head that I am buying should have the same casting number stamped as mine which would be 130 016 08 01 280 SE/A. .. and look for a higher ratio.

Correct me if my understand is wrong.
