WANTED: K Series Cylinder Head (Cheap, Damaged etc.) or VVC 160

[revilla]

Looking for an old head.

Will only be used for clamping a bonded shim onto my current head. Won't be going into an engine. Only requirement is that the gasket face is flat and not significantly indented because I can't bring myself to pay for a skim on junk! So bent valves, knackered valve seats, stripped threads, combustion chambers shot full of shrapnel ... all fine! I only need the bare head casting, don't even need the cam ladder.

If it just happened to be a serviceable VVC 160 head I might be inclined to pay a bit more for it as it might actually be some use to me when I'm done.

So, what have you got?

Thanks.

I have a VVC head which I bought off Jake&Lizzie for £120. I went to sell it and the potential purchaser noticed 2 valves were different. That and the fact it needed an expensive inlet cam put them off.

happy for you to take it, have a good look at it and let me know whether its any good and come up with a price. I'm never going to use it. Ring area looks good.

It is head, cam ladder valves and springs - no cams or vvc gubbins

Ian,

Thanks - I think you have mentioned this to me before (a long time ago) but I'd forgotten / didn't realise you still had it.

It sounds interesting - are you around at all tomorrow evening for me to pop over?
