Long story short, I have a KA the casting# is 53F. The head went bad, valves and all. So, I'm just gonna give in and buy a new one. Well, I found one in good condition for pretty cheap, but the casting # on it is 70F. Would this cause a problem?? My friend and I were having a debate about the coolant jackets matching up or not. So, I searched online for hours, and the only thing I found was a post on some forum saying that the upper timing covers and calve covers were different. I never actually found an answer. So, I was just gonna go for it, and if it didn't work I was just gonna turn around and sell it. But, I figured I'd try posting this first because I've found a lot of help here. If anyone has any advice that would help me out, that would be great!

any RWD ka24de head should bolt perfectly onto any RWD ka24de block. you may find the head is from an s14 in that case you will need to get a valve cover and a front upper cover to match.
