Default will an 02 cam and rockers work on my 96

My rig is a 1996 sportsman 500 ... worn exhaust lobes and rocker arms. Found a complete head close by but its off a 2002 500 "HO" they said. New cam and rockers. Question is....will the cam & rockers, or complete head work off the 2002 HO 500 on my 1996 500 ???

Im gonna call the shop when they open as well but wanted to post here to get as much confidence/input as I can before I order it.

thanks for all your help so far....you've helped me easily find my problem

thanks

People were putting the Scramblers cams in the Sportsman 500 and making there own H.Os long before Polaris did it themselves in 2001. All the 500 Fuji motors are the same except for fuel intake and cams.

Thanks Rick...I appreciate greatly your input/feedback. Should I just use the entire head or is there no difference in heads to warrant a swap??

Thanks again for the feedback to both of you. Really appreciate it. This is such an awesome forum!!
