Hi chaps

I've just acquired a turbo engine with the head and box which has the engine number 12H A85 AA
I've done a search and all I can find is that it is a turbo but I have no idea what year or if its a Leaded or unleaded head? Anyone able to enlighten me?

Thanks

Thanks dude, I found that as well but wasn't sure on the year or fuel type still. Doesn't matter too much as its going to be rebuilt with a K head but I want to sell the head etc correctly

Yeah not too sure mate, best best ask the guy you bought it off

Head will be leaded. Pretty certain all turbo units were.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.
