the number stamped on the 18 heads are the same as stamped on the 16 heads...should be the same right? i heard that the bore is the only thing different....just trying to confirm.. the exhaust doesn't bolt to the head.

Just be careful as the left & right heads are different.

i know the right and left side are different..
but are the heads form a 16hp and 18 hp interchangeable and is there any difference in the heads from either motor....increase in hp is from bore size.
