I replaced the head on my friends 1989 900 turbo 16v. The lifters won't pump up and are in fact dry. When I pulled the cams to check the valve adjusters the cam caps and journals are scored. The original head was the internal oiler type, therefore we did not have oiler tubes to reinstall. I suspect that our current problem is due to the fact that the replacement head is the external oiler type. The head casting has an "87" date stamp on the radiator end. How can we confirm if my suspicions are correct and that bwe were sold the wrong head. One other observation, there is a hole just below and a little forward of the rear most intake cam bearing cap. Is that where the oiler tube is connected? Unfortunately I did not have the opertunity to compare the heads side by side. Someone please provide the straight scoop. Thanks Tim
