yes it has double valve springs, and the only castings on the head say JAPAN and NISSAN both are under the rocker cover

sounds like a GX head to me! are there any markings on the block to indicate that it's a GX block?

have the inlet manifold water holes been welded up?

yeah your right pepper! just checked in WIKI and Block crank and rods are basically the same as the A12. Only differences are longer duration cam and higher compression ratio in some engines, and also the water pump inlet pipe for the carbie cooling system.

not buy me, if there were holes, it looks like there are slight marks there on it but they might have just been from the gasket. but if they were welded its a bloody good job
