Well i can help you there, if you had a leaded head you would not be able to lift your head from the pillow!! and when your sitting upright your head will be very hard to hold upright, just like a new born babies...

Hope that helps!! :cheese:

LOL@barnett

the only way is to remove the head and the valves and look for the inserts :w00t:

Check for exhaust valve seat inserts. here's an insert, prior to final cut. the lip being talked about is about 1/4 down from the surface. If it's smooth all the way around, from surface down into the port, then it's not inserted/unleaded. If you feel a hard, 90 degree lip and opens up a bit more after that, then it's got inserts.
