    Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance, the FUN and Friendly MINI Community.

    I'd call around to the vendors that are also shops such as Helix, Detroit Tuned, Motoring Magic and the like. they often have parts like these laying around.

    Be careful when you 'insert', cool?? Make sure that the combustion chamber isn't 'cracked' and the crack isn't running into the spark plug threads. No repair will work for that, cool??

    We have had to toss quite a few Heads over the years do to Heat cracks.

    If you really want a Head I have one that is complete from a motor I tore down. 600 shipped in the US via Fedex Ground.

    We do have three heads off cars ready for a rebuild, we can have it done or just sent as is. I would recommend pressure test and valve job with new seals. Give us a call.
