The valve size is the same. The exhaust valves are nimonic. Basically the same head besides the exhaust studs and valve material. Camshaft is different though.

Its unclear that the cam is different. The part # may differ, but no one can find a difference.

I was thinking the m102 camshaft was 264/112, the m106 is 260/112 and the m30b34 282/110. I'll have to find my notes.

I think you typo'd, M30b34 should be 262/110.

Yea Russ, 262/110. Sorry, been a long day, and that was the last thing I typed before I went to before I went to bed.

i think we've had a discussion about this before.... according to the M106/102 gurus on Scotty's website -- there is absolutely no difference between heads except the exhaust studs. But... it's still up in the air.

One difference which is certain is the word "turbo" cast into the side of the cylinder head - kinda cool...
