Cluster gear in gear box on some x93 heads was stronger, would hold up to knife rolls better. I think 1998 was cutoff there not sure tho. Poly is nice, have a late 643 with poly, knife rolls, oil bath, it’s a nice head wish I had calmer knife rolls tho.
Fwiw I have heard that the blue tinted poly is the older heads with the weaker cluster gears.
