Title: engine interchangeable parts? years?
Post by fexterz11 on 06/28/10 at 15:09:32

i have an 86 bottom end that is in good condition, but i need a top end.
would all top ends from 86+ fit well or do i have to get specific years to interchange them?

I THINK they're all interchangeable although there is speculation that the cylinder or head (i dont recall which) is slightly shorter on the 86-88 year models. Still interchangable as far as i know but you'll have more slack in the cam chain. IIRC. You'd be better off matching years if you can or at least matching 86-88 models parts rather than 95-present parts. Im pretty sure heads are interchangeable through all years but you'll want to get a head/headcover as a set as they're machined to match. Not sure if there's a difference in the cam chain sprockets between years.
