98 heads,same as '01 heads except for valve covers?
98 heads,same as '01 heads except for valve covers? I have a set of 98 heads that I picked up cheap.
I was just going to sell them,but since I still have to do H/C,
I figured I might keep them if they are the same as 2001 heads
except for the valve covers.
I will just polish the valve covers(or get new ones) and re mount the
coil packs on the fender wells.
Opinions?

Re: 98 heads,same as '01 heads except for valve covers? Yes they are the same heads except the valve cover bolt pattern. Oh and `98 only gaskets. But port wise they are the same.

Re: 98 heads,same as '01 heads except for valve covers? vALVE DESIGNS ARE DIFFERENT AND combustion chamber finish cuts around valves appear to be cleaner on 2000+ heads.Valve seal designs changed in 2002 by incorporating spring seat shim and seals, also. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
