944 vs. 951 heads
I have numerous heads from 944s and hopefully I have 1 951 head. Is there any visual differences to identify? Looking to put together a 951 motor...

The 951 head should have 951 PN on the head cast into it. Remember the castings are different to account for the exhaust ports.

The 951 head will have ceramic in the exhaust ports.

The valves are also different. The 951 valves are sodium filled.
