AMC head

[gazzol]

Hi guys can anyone tell me if the AMC cylinder head holds any value over and above a standard BMW one? If so I may decide to sell this one I have.
Thanks Gary

The AMC heads were a solution to the terrible coolant passage cracking problem that was a world wide issue with OEM heads with Bmw big six engines from the 70’s.
With their different design they no longer cracked.
Certainly a major improvement over an early used head which is pretty much worthless unless it is a FI head.
A good used core AMC head is worth 500.00
A used BMW head from the 70’s with the big coolant passages is worth 100.00 ? and are usually just recycled for metal.

your decision…..

You should measure them and keep the thickest.
