Hi all
After my cylinder head has completely been overworked, after the rebuilt we remarked that still oil was blowing out between - then we realized that the cylinder head has a crack!!!!!!!
 I need a new cylinder head for my KTA10A / Z1100ST. It is from the year 1982. Are there differences in years 1981 - 1983? Are there differences from the European model compared to the Spectre?
Is there a chance to get one, or do I need to buy a complete motor or even a complete bike??
Thanks and regards
Daniel

I believe the same head was used on the LTD and copsycles. Standard J engine fare. The European models will not have the reed cages or ports for the clean air system. European heads are more difficult to find in the U.S., and are usually more expensive. The late model GPz head is different and requires different pistons.

Here is a more detailed explanation -

Hi Daniel  , 
were is it leaking at ? Some heads in that time had BAD casting that seeped out oil around the spark plug on "2 cylinder I think. 

I remember seeing this shot of a J head from team cow on eBay. 
You might still be able to use it but talk to a pro head shop to see.
hope it helps
