VI>Hi List,

VI>The head on my TR 250 needs new valve seats.  I have a '68 GT6 motor and
VI>the head casting numbers on the GT6 head and the TR250 are the same. My
VI>present thinking is to swap heads and get the original motor back into
VI>the 250 ( I have a '76 TR6 motor that is pretty tired in it now ). Anyone
VI>know if the two heads are interchangeable?  If not, why not?

VI>Thanks

Hugh,
 They are the same.
 If you do a valve job, the only modification I can recommend is to
have the valve guides cut down to accept oil seals.
 There are othermods, but if the engine will not get rigorous use, they
are not really worth the expense, at least in my opinion.
 It is also a good idea to have the head planed to insure a flat sealing
surface.
Regards,
TonyR
