Paul,


Cracked heads are pretty common unfortunately, you're at least the 10th
person in a few months from whom I hear his cylinder head is cracked....

You should be able to use the 3B engine code head but it will require
modifications for the hall sensor that's mounted on the cam sprocket on
your engine, while in the 200 it's mounted inside the distributor body,
otherwise both heads are the same. Be sure to have it pressure tested
before you buy it, 100K miles means nothing and I've already seen cracked
heads that had only 50k on them unfortunately...

HTH,


Mihnea
