GSX 750 DOT head

[Guest]

Is the Katana dot 750 head the same as the gsxr dot head?
Besides the cams of course.
How much are they worth? In running, ready to go condition?

Excuse me but what is a dot head

A dot head is a GSX or GSXR 750 head that was produced for few years that had bigger valves and smaller combustion chambers. Called a dot head because of a dot cast into both sides of the head.

Same head, smaller cams. I usually get them for $150-200. Ray.

I just acquired a complete unit (dot head) I heard about the combination here from ray and another member posting - forget who but the point is I am going to put an engine together this winter using it

I will make a new thread and take many pictures when it happens...

big flow and big squeeze == big power without porting a GS head to aluminum foil thickness

Keep an eye on ebay, I found one for 50 bucks, with cam cover, intake boots and all the bolts too.

I got another one that I paid around 175 bucks but it had a new valve job, cam cover, intake boots and all the bolts too.

Thank you I had no idea. Ok from now on I will keep an eye out for such a head at swap meets etc. So do they swap out to the gs engines without grief as far as stud/bore, spacing, dowl pins, gaskets etc. Or are you using them just between different year gsxr motors. Please excuse my ignorance here.

Did you follow the link I posted? It tells you almost all about it. There are other threads about it as well.

If you decide to do one call me at 714--356-7845 as I have all the info & needed "extra" parts to do the conversion. Ray.

Yea now I got the idea. Thanks I couldn't get the oldskool Suzuki link to work though, for now I believe i'm going to store this bit of info for a later date. I might recommend it to some customers wanting some cheap hp and follow through with them and see how things go. Thanks again.
