Just the head or the complete motor? If its the head forget about it. You can buy a complete b18b motor for a lil less than what he's asking.

he he now that i think about it that's not too bad of a deal. The P&P work and titanium valve springs and retainers are worth at least 1000 dollars.
Plus the head and STR intake= a reasonable offer. Make sure it is working ok and its not blown. |

remember, when a rod breaks free, the piston goes straight up or straight down and bounces back up... in other words, good chance that cylinder head took a beating.
also, for springs and Ti retainers, they're $250 a set. p&p runs about $300 for a really good job, even less for a basic p&p with 3 angle valve job. the guy who does my headwork does it for $150, including cooking out and reinstalling valve guides. $1000 for p&p would be a ripoff, even if they remachined the quench area. the STR intake manifold runs about $1000-1200 depending where you go to get it. not a cheap part, but has minimal gains... especially on the street. altogether for each part and labor, it's not bad, but it's definitely not a great deal for the lack of gains that setup would give you. |
