If it is for a GT6 with flat-top pistons the combustion chambers will be too shallow (head already overskimmed for 2.5 engine) giving a compression ratio that is much too high. However, some of the later GT6s had domed pistons which use the same chamber depth as 2.5 so in this case it would be possible.What number is stamped on the head?Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggrr1 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 If I read this list correctly I'm afraid it looks to be the wrong one to fit, Scroll to the bottom of the page for cylinderhead applications.http://www.triumphclub.co.nz/technical.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Yes, looks like that is for a flat top piston 2.0L. You can check the head thickness to be sure, but I think you'll find it is one of the thinner ones.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
