Does anyone know if any of the parts in the RB20 Head are compatible with anything else.

From what I've seen on Tomei web-site it looks like the Z32 VG30DE/TT and the RB20DE/T share the same Valve Springs

And the Valve guides for the Intake are the same RB20,25, and 26Valve guides for the Exhaust are only the same with RB20,253

The Valve lifters seem to be the same with the RB20,25 and VG30DE/TT

According to JUN the Valve spring retainers are the same for the RB20 and the VG30DE/TT

This is not Head related but the Crank Bearing Cap Studs are the same RB20,25,&26

Looking into more but if anyone has any info or Part #'s please let me knowThanks

I hope that's true for the lifters because I think my engine has a couple that are going south.

My comment doesn't pertain to the head but an 87 pulsar se with the 1.6 liter turbo engine has the same size pistons (78 mm) as the RB20..I was wondering if the pistons can be used and/or the piston rings which autozone has for $69(chrome moly).
