I need to replace the head on my 1.6 and i am on a students budget and this is my school commuter and need to get it on the road asap. I need a 1.6 non turbo/solid lifter head with/cam,valves, and lifters.

I will have to go and look at what I have to see if there is one worthy of running.

I have lived the student life as well( studying for finals as we speak) and know how tight money can get.

make on offer, I haven't had a chance to go through all my stuff yet and decide what its worth yet(bought a bunch of stuff off an old guy recently)

what would you be willing to spend?

I bought a hydro/turbo head for my brother from tyler about a year and a half ago for 75.00 US so somewhere around there would do.

sorry I didnt get back to you sooner, but I looked through my heads, and I have 1 11mm 1.6 head, but it is really rough and needs a full rebuild and resurfacing before it could be used.

sorry to get you exited and then let you down.

I have an 11mm head that was just reconditioned at the machine shop, new guides, seals, valve job and resurface, cam is installed and valve clearance is set. I have 250 bucks into it and that's what you can have it for. It is in Crockett CA. near San Francisco.
Look, if corn and kudzu fall in love and have a baby in a lab under the supervision of scientists working in my employ, WHO AM I TO STOP THAT other than the CEO responsible for stopping it???
