Cast Cylinder Head No. for NB8B?

Postby hamish71 » Thu Oct 04, 2007 3:52 pm

OK...one for the boffins. I need a new head for my NB. I am importing a worked head from the US. Dont ask (yet), just got a deal. Will spill the details if it works out.

Mine is a 00 NB8B.

I need to specify the cast no, from the cylinder head to ensure it is the same as what I have.
I dont have the car with me right now (its in QLD).

Can anybody tell me the cast no. for that era car, or point me to a reference where I can find out?

I have a picture of what I mean if i can work out how to post it.

OK here are the castings on my BP Familia and 94 MX-5 (BP) heads:

The NB head should have the casting in the same location. Shame it's at the back of the head, so good luck finding volunteers. :) Someone with a mirror and a 12mm spanner could easily do it, though.
