E30stz 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2006 probably cheaper just buying a 2nd hand engine to be honest. They'll either charge you the same amount for a head if not more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted November 2, 2006 I may have one, will know for sure on Sunday, depends on the state of the head in the new car I've got coming tomorrow? The head I'd sell has been skimmed at the local head shop so it's flat, and is in good condition, no cracks, not warped, but has no cam, only bare head with valves and springs still in. Will want $300 for it, will post Sunday if it's for sale and you are interested. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
