Title: Wanted: 1990 Cylinder head!
Post by: codybuehler on June 01, 2009, 06:51:56 AM
Looking for a cyclinder head with valves. It's for a 1990 engine, so I believe an 89-92 would work.

Mine threw an exhaust valve and the piston hammered it into the head like a nail.  Expensive, but one of the neatest things i've seen. :technical:

email me at codybuehler "at" yahoo.com if you have anything!

Thanks!!!

I am dropping off a head @ the machine shop in a day or 2, and I dont think 10 bucks was so great for a used head. Its not bad, but I sold one for 15 bucks and I have bought em for 10-20 all the time.
Heads have to be surfaced and preferable to cut 3 angle jobs in the valves and seats before reuse. It helps seal the gasket etc. That is a $100 job ... if a shop even does it.
Cool.

I have got bad ones with iffy valves etc etc pretty much free. But getting it back to good useable shape is where it costs.

Cool.
