Welcome to the club! Another South Lincs member! That is at least ooooh 5 now!

All K series heads, from 1.4 to 1.6 to 1.8 are exactly the same...

No the 200 head isn't the same. The bare head is the same except the tensioner as the 200 will have manual tensioner where as yours will be Auto.

Also the 200 has distributor where as your 75 will be coilpacks.
