From memory, if you swap ALL the hardware from the L head into the M head, it should work. That means cams, followers, valves, retainers, springs, cam sprockets(?). Basically anything you can remove from the L head, put over into the M head with the exception of the cam caps.

You might wanna check but I think it can be done.

Hi OZ750L

That what i thought,..but some told me that cam spacing between the cams lobes are different and need to make a spacer to centralize the cams
and that the oil ports might be off but what i could c looks about the same to me tried searching every were but doesn't look like any one that i could find tried before i know ape does
i conversion kit thats what i heard,..

You have to use the L cams. They are 4 lobes per cam where the M cams are 8 lobes per cam. Drop the bits in and assemble the head on the bench to have a look. You will soon see.
