81 GS750LX head replacement

[rmriggin]

With the condition my one cam journal was on my bike I have decided to replace the head instead of getting rid of the bike. I have been trying to find a straight answer as to what head(s) other than the year and model of mine would fit. I can get a good deal on a 1982 gs750 head. Would it bolt to my 1981 gs750?
Also could I put an 8v head from an earlier gs750 onto mine?

8 valve head will definately not work some of the others can tell which heads you can use. What ever you do make sure to replace the base gasket and scrub the oil passages in the block

I plugged in the part number for the head into the search engine at Babbitts and it says that any head from an '80 or '81 GS750 will work.

Bummer, I havent been able to find any 80 or 81 heads, but the 82 looks identical to mine, dont really want to risk it though.
