I bought a used head off eBay that turned out to be an E model head with the head stay cut off. Part of the coolant elbow on top is ground down. It looks like the guy wanted clearance. He had some parts from a hybrid he was parting out, but I did not realize what I was buying.
What would the E model engine have gone into that it needed the head stay cut off and grinding done?
Thanks!
Any Reason to Cut Off the Head Stay on an E Head??

Pretty much most hybrid builds do not make use of the headstay.

Thanks for the info guys. I guess I just need to sell it. I don't see myself building an E hybrid.
