Taking a flyer on this, as its like a year later; but wondering if you still had this for sale?

 

That's what I paid for a ported and polished head.... You can get refurb a with long life guides for like 7-800 bucks... Just sayin

Might want to call jm turbo coopers before getting bent over

 

Lol, I just gave them a call as you were typing this. My head is on the edge of what is in tolerance for warp .0011 (limit is .0012 to my understanding) so I'm just trying to figure out what my options are for either a rebuild or rebuilt head. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Did you talk to arric? He would be the dude to ask for advice...

His prices are the best I could find and he uses a different type of guide that isn't so prone to disintegrating as the OEM guides

 

Aric was out of the shop at the time I called, so looking for a call back today or tomorrow.

New head quote from the shop was like $2400 plus parts/labor (while doing timing chain and guides as well) for a whopping, pucker-inducing $6k estimate....youch! So looking for ways to dial that down substantially.

 

Let the rape session begin... Finding a good mechanic for a low price is a crap shoot.
