Thanks
I understand that it's not a head on replacement, but possible. My
exhaust threads are worn (but still running), and looking for a pair of
ambo heads on ebay seems to be a year long project. But I came across a
pair of T3 heads on ebay that started the thougts.
Even here in europe the ambo heads (or someone who can fix them) are
rare. I think I'll keep an eye out for the ambo heads for a while
longer.

That and you need to make sure you use the new head and base gaskets
with
the matching oval pushrod holes. Either that or it will rub away your
pushrods.

 Does anyone know if cylinderheads from a T3 can be used on a ambo (or
V7
Special) ??

In addition to the differences Greg mentioned, the rockers for the T3
head
are different. When Guzzi made the 850 cylinders they moved the pushrod
tubes
outward away from the cylinder wall. The rockers were changed slightly
to
match
the pushrod tube. The heads & rockers interchange with no problems but
you
may need to grind a small amount of material from the push rod tubes of
stock
Ambassador cylinders. Newer Gilardoni cylinders have oval pushrod tubes
&
will
work with either cylinder/rocker set up.
