You can put the H head onto a 186 but you end up with XU1 type compression (that is basically what and XU1 engine is ie a 186 with a 161H head).

So sounds like I need a 161H to put on my 186, which will run a 223 Clive cam, a 2 Barrel Carb and Pacemakers with a 2 inch exhaust......where do I get one? I finally found a nice HR Premier and that's what the engine is going into. Edited by user Saturday, 13 July 2013 11:46:40 PM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

That combo will be around 10:1 or possibly more if the head is shaved. Here's one. It says 202 but it is a 161H head. http://www.ebay.com.au/i...19df1f07f9#ht_178wt_1170

Also got a Cam and lifters from Clive's Cams. Both fantastic blokes to deal with Edited by user Sunday, 11 August 2013 1:08:40 AM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified
