date is not important to change heads

No but re-certified are not so good for parts...

Thank you tawfeek_mokhtar and mr_spokk, I know they are no so good but it's the only part I was able to find... and they are not asking lost of money for the donor, so I will give it a try

You need to match the first three characters of the serial number. The first character reflects the manufacturing location, so I suspect that it may not be as important as the other two.
