[Healeys] 100-4 head on UK eBay

[John Harper]

I am sorry to have to say this but this is not an original A-H 100, A70 
or A90 Atlantic head. The give away is that it has the three stud 
thermostat housing of a later 2.2 or 2.5 litre engine. It quite likely 
came off an Austin Gypsy but could also have been another BMC vehicle 
fitted with a four cylinder petrol engine around that time.

It could be used in emergency on a 100 and I know of a handful of owners 
who have taken this route. These later heads appear to be less crack 
prone but you will need a different thermostat housing. One from a later 
Rover Metro can be made to fit. Compression Ratio is still about the 
same but with smaller inlet valves the engine appears to run less smooth 
but not so as to be annoying.

Regards
