ahhh gotcha thought it was a multi valve head, but I was trying to work out how a 4cyl head could have 14 valves hehe is this the same as the OS Ginken head someone posted photo's of a while?
are they made of unobtainium or is it possible to find one floating around? also if they were designed for the L series does that mean they're non-crossflow like the standard L heads, or more like the Z series cross flow design?
