Nissan A-series Engine cylinder heads are of one type: inline valves, pushrod valve system (non-overhead cam), two-valves per cylinder. The head is non-crossflow meaning that exhaust and intake ports are on the same side (left side). An exception to the above is the work AY12 head. It is cast in aluminum and unlike the BMC A-series bathtub chamber design, the Datsun A-series uses a more modern wedge-shaped chamber with inclined valves.

Application
For application by Datsun model, see Cylinder Head Part Numbers.
Cylinder Head Identification
Most A-engine heads do not have unique casting numbers. For a process of identification see Cylinder Head Identification. The article also discusses various distinguishing features of the various cylinder heads and includes many photos.
Early A Engine
The 1967-1973 heads provide oil to the rocker arm shafts in different locations than 1974-up, so when fitting a newer head you may need to redrill the oil passage.
Round Port
All early (pre-1974) A-series round-port engines uses the following * 35 mm Intake valves 13201-H1000 * 29 mm Exhaust valves 13202-18000 * Dry type manifold * 14035-18000 GASKET-manifold to head * Original manifold bolt pattern
A10 head
The 1970 B10 is 9.0:1, same as the B110 ratio. Yet they use the exact same head. This indicates the B10 piston dish is 20% larger.
* (optional) Rally Springs (dual valve springs) * Early heads have non-A12 fittings * Late A10 heads are same as A12
B10 Coupe Head
B10 Coupe with A10 engine had different part number. It is unknown how it differs from the regular Datsun 1000 cylinder head.
It is fitted with flattops pistons (same as the Hi-Gas A12GX pistons), and a dual-outlet exhaust manifold.
A10 M01 Head
11041-M0100 HEAD ASSY-cylinder E10 JDM 11041-M0101 HEAD ASSY-cylinder E10 JDM (from '72-1) 11041-M0102 HEAD ASSY-CYLINDER E10 JDM 11041-M0105 HEAD ASSY-CYLINDER N10 EUR 0878-0781 11041-M0104 HEAD ASSY-CYLINDER N10 EUR 0878-0781
A12 H10 Head
H10 head has no casting numbers * JDM B110 * USA B110 Early 1971 model (until April 1971) * Closed Chamber
Known in SCCA racing circles as the "H Production" head, legal alternative for H39 head.
See discussion: Are these A series GX or comp heads? Experts needed!
Some say a ported and polished standard A12 head with larger valves fitted flows about the same as a standard GX head. See head trivia.
A12 H15 Head
From Nissan Cherry E10
A12 H39 Head
* USA B110, from April 1971 head has no casting numbers * Same as H10 head, but with open chambers * Compression ratio 9.0:1 with dished pistons
Open Chamber heads are most common in USA. They were fitted mid-1971 to remove the temperature-spiking "quench" area therefore reducing NOx (nitrogen oxides) emissions.
Large Oval Port
All Large Oval-port engines use the following: * 35 mm Intake valves 13201-H2300 * 29 mm Exhaust valves 13202-H2300 * Wet type manifold * 14035-H2300 GASKET-manifold to head * Original manifold bolt pattern
A12GX Head
Cast "JAPAN" and "NISSAN"
* Large Oval Ports (30 x 36 mm)
* Same size valves as A10 & A12 engine
The A12GX Engine uses a cylinder head with dual-valve springs for 6800 rpm operation
(compare to stock A12 6400 rpm operation). It used an intake manifold with dual Hitachi HJE38W side-draft carburetors. Compression ratio of 10.0 and combustion chamber of 29.1 cm3 with flat-top pistons.
Dual valve springs, GX cylinder head and intake
- 11041-H2302 A12 GX cylinder head (to 6/73)
- 11041-H5703 GX cylinder head (from 7/73) same specs, but for newer engine style
- Nissan Competition called the newer head a "GX" head. But this appears to be the A12T head (11041-H5702).
NOTE: Dual valve springs alone is not an indication of the GX head. N10 A14E engines also used dual-springs, but were not large-port heads. Also over the years many heads have had dual springs added. For ID, check the intake port sizes.
For more details, see Main Article: A12GX Engine
Early A12T Head
Cherry E10 model has a head same or very similar to the A12GX head (11041-H2300):
11041-M0800
Late A Engine
1974-up A Engine Redesign heads provide oil to the rocker armshafts in different locations than earlier heads. The new heads do not have the oil passage on their face, so when swapping into earlier blocks you need to drill the oil passage.
Round Port
Round ports heads were used by all A12s & some A14s and one A15.
- Some A12s use the original bolt pattern while other A12s have the new-type bolt pattern.
- Valve sizes vary

Lowered-port high-swirl design for the FU Engine. 728 heads were also used on 1978-1982 Canada models (B210 & B310).
These have quench chambers (closed chambers) but instead of being used in high-compression engines, they are designed for high swirl (for better fuel economy and improved emissions). They are used with dished pistons for 8.5:1 in 1977 and 9.0:1 in 1978 FU (4mm dish or 5mm dish). Unlike the swirl-port heads, these have unobstructed ports. The ports are lowered so that the charge is forced to swirl as it enters the chamber.

H990
For 1980, wet intake replaced dry intake. USA FED A12/A14/A15 round port, wet intake, new bolt pattern.
Has round intake ports (like the A12 head). Casting numbers are under the valve cover area: "990" towards the rear and "454" towards the front. These cannot be ported out to match the oval port heads (you'll hit a water jacket). It has two small coolant holes below the intake ports, to provide heat for the intake manifold. These came on the "FU" and "MPG" cars (USA-market B310 fuel economy champion models).
Has "990" cast near #4 cylinder and "415" at the #1 end

H95 Small-Oval Shrouded-port Head
Also see: H95 Engine
- Used on all USA engines 1981-1982 (A12A, A14 and A15)
- Intake: 37mm, 100.0 mm
- Exhaust: 30mm, , 100.0 mm
- All other A-series valves are 103.8 mm long
- peanut-shaped combustion chambers
- Small-oval ports, guide is shrouded
- wet intake
- 14035-H8901 manifold gasket (same as Large Size ports)
Has an H95 cast into it, under the valve cover area, has what some call a "swirl" port has an obstruction cast into the port to cause the flow to swirl but it reduces total flow. If you look into the port, from the manifold side, you'll see a heavily shrouded port, almost half of the size it would normally be on an A14 head.
If you try to grind out this obstruction, you will hit a water jacket and render the head useless. It too, has the coolant holes in it.
They also have a small but deep combustion chamber, hence a different dish in the piston.
Regular Oval Port
The A14/A15 Oval-port Heads include large 37 mm intake valves and 30 mm exhaust valves.
- There are many part numbers, which differ for year, emission control, accessory fittings, coolant passages, etc.
- These heads first appeared with the 1975 A14 engine.
- Open Chamber versions can can be milled .080" or more to raise compression.
Oval-Port heads include:
- H72: Dry, Large Oval, Open Chamber. The original A14 head, designed for USA market. With Air Pump passage
- H77: Same as H72 but drilled for more emission controls
- H75: Same as H72 but for non-USA market w/o Air Pump
- H89: Closed Chamber Wet manifold use in B310
- M24: For twin-carb A14T, similar to H89 but with dual-valve springs

The original A14 head. Designed for north america, it has open combustion chambers and is drilled for AIS air injection passages.

Sometimes erroneously called the "low compression GX head", it has a casting number "H72". Has a larger 360-degree "open" combustion chamber for reduced emissions. It does not have the coolant holes below the intake ports, so uses a 'dry' type inlet manifold. It has the nice straight big oval intake ports. It is better than the A14 oval "swirl port" (H95) head, and certainly better for high RPM use than the round intake port A14 heads. Air pump galley drilled from front face all the way back through, intersecting all the exhaust ports.
Open Chamber design
So is Oval-port "H72" a good head or not? [Naukkis] says the "high-compression" (closed chamber) head is a better design, and not just because of the compression (see New A series oval port head). The quench design of the combustion chamber is more efficient. The best combo for low compression would undoubtedly be a high-compression head used with half-dished pistons (half-flat-top, half dish), but are these available for the A-type engines?
Note AIS air passage for Thermostat_Housing#4-bolt_Type
Note the "extra water port" at the rear, plugged in 1975, but fitted with a sensor/switch in others:
The original A14 head (H72) has the oil boss casting like early A12 heads, only it is not drilled & plugged:
