Any year will fit.
Difference is 89-02 have the fitting for mechanical tachometer. 2004+ does not because they had an electronic tach.
If you get a 2004+ you can switch to electronic tach.
Only other difference is color: silver or black.

Just a heads up.
even tho you said complete.

Cam shafts and the mounts are Not interchangeable.

So yeah, you need an entirely complete cylinder head.
The covers are swappable tho.


Already been through the hell of learning this the Hard way! hahaha

The one I have has 2800 miles, in valve spec, has the cams, cam caps and timing chain.

Sorry Adidas, had no idea. I wanted it to go to a twinner, never meant to start a bidding war.

Someone else is bidding on it. I have another on the way already so I'll let someone else have this motor (i.e. engine)

I have the head I used on Junior. Maybe a fluke that Junior did not like it. Or the right intake valve might be sticky. He ran good with for a couple months then.... well...... but you can read all the past threads on the problem with Junior. Might have been just timing off one link as things settled in.

If interested, shoot me an offer.
