Which head is this? 500? 550?
« on: March 06, 2012, 06:04:55 AM »
Everything looks the same as other 500 or 550 heads I've seen except the 4 little reservoir holes underneath the camshaft, where oil pools.  They appear part of the original casting.  I can't find any pictures or fiche of these holes.  Bought it at a local swap, and didn't see the holes until I took the cam off.  Guy said it was a 500.  What is it???
