Need a New/Used Head

[05220713]

Since boating season is done for a while here in my area I am on a hunt for a new/used cylinder head for a 1973 65HP 3 cylinder. Model # of the engine is 65ESL73R and I believe the model # for this part is 0317194. My spark plug holes are shot, already tried the Heli Coil approach and while sufficient for a while this was only a temporary backyard fix that has out lived its own repair lifespan.

Any suggestion where I may be able to find one? Pickings are slim on ebay so far.

Your location ?

Go to the top secret files at the beginning of this forum and look for salvage yards.

Sorry, I am Pasadena, Maryland. Just a bit north of Annapolis, MD. The top secret files at the beginning of this forum for salvage yards was not much help for my area and unless I am looking at it incorrectly seems to be outdated.

I have some of those heads , but not interested in packaging / shipping.---Sorry.

Yeah, hopefully I can find one a bit closer in the US that is in good shape, thanks anyway.

Several diifernt models will interchange, if you need one pm me as I have several. I have a fresh 72 65hp stinger complete block less crank bored .020 I need to get rid of also...

If you are going to pull the head anyway ant the only defect is the spark plug holes, could you not just have them machined to the next size up for an acceptable plug? Also now would be a great time to do any upgraded port work... A custom head with weird spark plug thread holes sounds great compared to a new/used stock head. But hey what do I know?
