Hey guys I brought a recond rb30 head for my series 200 I noticed at the back of the head it's has a machined type hole on the intake side and checked my original head and that didn't have it I'm thinking it may be a patrol head here's a pic any info would be great

Turn the head on its side and fill it with water if it leaks then worry about if not chuck the head back on and do some skids!

Just like the skyline RB30s are stronger lol. If it doesnt leak oil i cant see how it could be for the fuel pump. Coz how they work is they have a lobe off the cam too push the pump in an out too operate.
