I didn't check the deck or head chamber to compare them . I had to pull the
heads off the X engine because I needed the super cooling tin from the X
engine. I just eyeballed them. Both had the same head  numbers and are
stepped heads. It's been so long I don't remember the deck height . The
heads were so stuck on  the X engine I had a difficult time getting them
off . I just didn't compare them .  The 72 engine is a U5033105 73 is an
X0010758. I tried looking them up on Samba and couldn't really find
answers.
