Here's from my late 92' head:

Intake 65 g
Exhaust 58 g
valve spring is Blue code which is conical, eliptical wire ~ 40.6 g

More to come

Just to clarify... the single conical spring heads are the updated style, which is 1993 USA model year (which may have been manufactured in late 1992). This style spring was used through end of production of the M119.

The 1990-1992 USA model year M119 heads have double non-conical valve springs, totally different design.

:tumble:
 
Also to note:


The lifters are @62 g where the manual says 65g. The later early style lifter FSM says IS NOT to be used with the dual-spring late single-spring design. (See attached note from FSM.)


The current light weight hydraulic INA lifters are 50g.
