Found on The Samba for $75. Thought someone might be able to use it.

But if you had a junk head to start with, it might be worth it to try and peen a new one in. You could always lowball him

There are several sizes of precups, if this one is the same as a spare head you had then ya you could probably use it.

$75 is a good price UNLESS it needs valves/ guides etc...

End up spending $400 on a "good deal" go ahead ask me how I know... :oops:

If you hit the 'Map it' button on the Samba ad it shows a location NE of Pasadena, CA. If I had a junk head with some pre-cups I would consider giving him a low-ball offer after getting some other pics. I can't tell if the right most cylinder surface was damaged (it may be or it could just be the cr@ppy pic) but if it isn't it might be worth it. After downloading the pic and enlarging it there doesn't appear to be any cracks between the intake and exhaust valves on any of the cylinders.
