Not a GX -- doesn't have the oil hole in head face. I see only 3 (not 4) water holes on inlet side.

On Yahoo Auctions, search for A型ヘッド, low starting bid.

I too wonder maybe it has been ported.

(Most? All?) A14/A15 heads have small water holes, not these large ones:

ahh but dd if you look closely it appears the water hole may have been drilled, tapped and plugged with maybe grub screws

Yes, I see that. But only three, not four... perhaps someone drilled larger holes in the A14 head, then plugged them, and ported it...

The coolant going through there is actually heating the manifold so only good for economy and heating the air for cold conditions.

They also leak like buggery, I plug them on my motors with 12mm wooden dowel.
