Here are a few images of the Z1 engine I'm restoring for a client. Just need to shave the fins and start the rebuild. :D :D

Hillbilly,
This is a 1973 head mid run, there are a whole bunch of differences between this and Z1A & Z1B heads, and the earlier '72 head. Post some images of the fins taken lookiing inot the carb inlets and from underneath and if its a 900 head I should be able to tell you.

No cracks on this head at all its perfect. When you say MKII do you mean a Z1000 MKII or have a second generation of Z1 head. :?:
