I'm in need of a new head for my 08 HT MCS. I'm trying to decide if I should shell out $2k and get a new one or find a good used one somewhere. Opinions? Also where to find one?
I found a local junk yard with a 2008 R56 hardtop. Should have a good engine in it. Alberts is the yard. Heck I bet you could get the whole engine for less than 2k from that guy.
Good deal I'll give em a call. Thanks much. Might go ahead and buy the whole thing if that cheap. My block needs work too.
Well after shopping around I guess I'm gonna throw down the $3k for the motor. This damn thing better run for a very long time!
I have a Ported/polished r56 head. ..if your interested!! $1695.00 shipped to you. PM or email.. cool?? http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/engine-drivetrain/6281-r56-head-rocks.html#axzz2Q6e4uShR Thumper
Thanks, the shop said my block needed a lot of work too so I figured it would be better to just slap a different motor in. Wish I could get by with just a head.
Picked up the motor today and brought it to the shop. Should have the MINI back by Monday at the latest!
