Thanks Bob
The valve springs and the rocker arm assemblys and valve cover gaskets are the same but everything else is different.

Some of the "everything else" would be valve diameter, valve stem diameter, combustion chamber volume...

As per Rob's suggestion:

I think there is some likelihood that they might possibly both be at least partially made of something that possibly might be somewhat aluminum-like.

It is nice to be among people who are so helpful to others in need. I have heard that on some forums that people make fun of other people, or give them useless answers, or ones that are just plain wrong.

Time to take my meds and a nap.

Tch, tch, tch, Duane! Listen to you! One would think that you think the Post 1970 Airhead forum exists solely for exchanging information and solving problems relative to post 1970 Airheads. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Well, OK, maybe there might be something further from the truth, somewhere, some day. But, you see, the actual purpose of the Post 1970 Airhead forum is for us all to amuse ourselves, using Post 1970 Airhead issues to kick off the discussion.

And in the process the necessary problem solving information almost always gets posted. It's actually a win/win situation for everybody, uh, except possibly for you. :D
