holden V8 heads

[thatotherguy]

does any one know if cylinder heads are date stamped like the blocks are i noticed today mine has the clock marking on them but doesnt match the one on the block

[V8VAN]

They have a cast date on them, similar to the block. Someone will be able to elaborate, I'm sure.

Yes they are date coded as are a fair amount of other things as well.
I have pictures here

showing a few old Holden parts with dating on them.

Heads and blocks would I expect have been cast at different times if not days
If the heads and block are from a close time frame to each other there is more chance of them "matched" as such.
