Honda Iowa Head Fits Honda Spree?

Post by Tuxedo »

Hey guys thanks for looking at this. My friend has a honda iowa which looks like an urban express but he has no head for it and they are hard to find. Is it possible to put a honda spree head on a honda iowa? or onto a honda urban express?

IRC There is a slight bolt spacing difference, along with differences below:

The Urban Express head is set up to be cooled by air blasted straight on.
The Spree is cooled by forced air blown sideways.

Urban Express has a bore of 40mm, Spree is 41mm making the chamber a little off

Urban Express heads are currently present on eBayHere is an eBay link:
