Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 12v head differences

[KAlder]

Is there any difference between a industrial 12v head and our 12 valvers? The reason I ask is, I just had a 12 valve given to me that came out of a skidder. It was run out of oil. I know the crank is toast but if the head is still in good shape, it would be nice to have a head o-ringed & ready to go when I blow my HG.

There are what Cummins calls low swirl and high swirl head castings as well as different "grades " of valves and springs eg 36# or 60# exh springs, Shadrach

Sounds like a nice score. If you get the casting numbers, or even better the numbers off the plate on the engine and contact your local dealer they should be able to tell you what it is and hopefully they will be able to tell you the differances between the two.
