I remember hearing somewhere that the 750 head and the 1000 head are the same. I was wondering if this is true. I'm thinking about rebuilding my 750 motor and sending out the head to Carpenter Racing Engines, however if I changed my mind later I was wondering if I could just swap the head on the 1000 so I don't lose any money.

on the 01-03 style head the 750 and 1000 are the same head. The 750 head allready has the stiffer valve springs. The 750 head will go right on the 1000 engine. The upper 2 mounts on the 750 are both on the head. On the 1000 one of the upper mounts is on the head and one is on the block. So their will be a extra mount when using the 750 head on the 1000 motor. It will still bolt right up and work fine.

So are they the same for the 03-04 1000?? I got a extra 750 head laying around and if I decided to get some work done later then I could just send that instead of having to break the motor down again.

cam chain tensioner is different on 03-04 and 01-02 heads.
you could use the 750 head on a 03-04 1000 if you had a manual cam chain tensioner or if you used the stock oil feed line that bolts to the oil feed gallery from the 750 head on the 03-04 motor.

So I won't be able to use the new tensioner?? You know I'm a freaking idiot I got the damn motor broke down and the head sitting a few feet away(750) and here I am to damn lazy to go and check it out my damn self.
I'll have to set them up side by side and check it all out. Sorry believe it or not it just came to me that I have both heads sitting practically next to each other.

IS there a head guide thread showing relative difference between the heads.?
I want to learn every spec change particularly regarding k2 750 configuration block and possible heads that can be purchased from other models
There seems to be a lot of old motors and parts lying around.
Im new to susuki and have been going through old threads for 2 days.
