no...fix the valves if they are bent. you can't swap heads with an 8 valver.

was the cam chain tensioner broken?

were the plastic pads on the cam tensioner still?

did the t-belt snap?

answers to these Q's will tell the tale also.

looks like a nice clean car for a project!

ps...where are you located?

I believe "Pontifex4" - Charlie has a 16v head for sell ,don't know if he still got it,you can try him & see.

Thanks`s for the info!!as far as the head,nothing is broke,chain,tensioner,upper & lower plastic`s are good.yesterday i took the head to my local machine shop and waited for the call.so here it is, all valves need to be replaced. 8 exhaust are bent and the intake are pitted.can anyone direct me to link with good prices??also, as for the small hole it`s normal,
it`s some kind of passage for the oil filter assembly,keeps it cool??? i was lucky and was able to get a porsche mech to come over and give it good look.it`s thumbs up!!! also if anyone needs a complete engine i have one.it was purchased back in 1991 with 30000 miles to do a converison but never done, because it doesn`t fit without lot`s of mods.it turns very nice and ready to install.so if your in need let me know....

The little hole is where they drill for the waterpump studs.
Call EBS racing for the valves. They're actually pretty cheap.
