Hi stuvaux, You should be able to get one on-line easily enough it was a common engine in Cavalier and Manta models, but if you have not had one of these heads off before be very careful of the oil feed pipe coming up from the oil way in the block to feed the cam-shaft. On refitting the head it is easy to damage this oil feed pipe, once refitted check to make sure the camshaft is getting an oil supply. doujoy ----------------------

Hi stuvaux,

You should be able to get one on-line easily enough it was a common engine in Cavalier and Manta models, but if you have not had one of these heads off before be very careful of the oil feed pipe coming up from the oil way in the block to feed the cam-shaft.
On refitting the head it is easy to damage this oil feed pipe, once refitted check to make sure the camshaft is getting an oil supply.
