Are all B230 heads interchangeable?? 700 1992

And what makes you believe that the 88 engine with 200,000 miles won't have pistons slapping worse than the engine you have? And why did the PO redo the head, and then give up on the car? Sometimes, better the devil you know.

Test your compression, test your oil pressure. If near spec, and you're not burning oil, continue to drive until the doors fall off. You should get at least a quarter million miles from the low end.
