    1988 325 super e head question?

    I read about this but i get confused on subject.
    I have a 885 head comes in my car.
    the head gasket went so i saw a small chunk on the water port to close to cylinder seating.
    so i need to change head to play it safe.
    what is the real difference of the 325i 885 head?
    i noticed i don't have double valve springs.
    and i read there's different cams.
    I was told the 2 oil passages are different? is that true with same casting head?
    if so can it be used on car that way?
    my goal is since i have to change it why not do the double valves and cams get the extra hp.

              not for the rev limit!

              and to get the most from the top end power you will gain with the i cams
