I HAVE SEARCHED BUT CAME UP WITH NOTHING BUT VALVE COVER COMPATIBILITY.

I bought a s14 kade with bent valves and I have a s13 head in good condition so I was wondering if the valves swappable? If so how long would it take? Would it be easier to pop the s13 head on the s14 block (oh, also would I have to swap to the s13 front cover with the head)?

Thanks guys
p.s. I'm working on it tomorrow.

I know it'd be much easier to find an S14 head.

The valves should be the same. Not sure how long it would take. I think you may run into issues swapping the S13 head on S14 and definitely would need to be decked.

Thanks, I'll probably just swap the valves out seeing as thats the cheapest (maybe not the easiest lol) solution. I will also post up the time it took to do that in case anyone else may need to kno.

Well never got around to it seeing as the cam journals were scarred. No point in putting valves in a head you cant use lol.
