14cc 18cc or 22cc head what is this?

[iatemeself]

what is this?

I have a spare engine laying around I think its a 5.5hp so it should be a 14cc head from a gx160...

Was wondering as well if the stud kit from the predator would work on this cylinder head because the valve studs were stripped on this cylinder head...

I'm going to slap this onto my predator (the dowel pins are larger for the predator, but i plan on drilling the dowel pins larger on the head and putting the predator dowel pins into the larger spot)

help much appreciated, thanks.

pictures of my cylinder head

^ valve stud stripped can i use the predator valve stud as replacement? can all other predator parts be used in the head?

thats a 22cc head. i don't know if the predator parts will fit. i have no predator experience.

It should fit, the bolts are metric 8mm.
Yes, a 22cc head

ooo so there's no use to use this cylinder head to add more compression to the predator 212cc?

Pretty sure the predator has 22cc head and thicker head gasket. A thinner copper head gasket will up compression or you could for out for a 14cc or 18cc head.

Correct, it is 22cc, but thicker head gaskets to reduce the compression to 8.5:1 like the Honda.
