1.9IDI head needed
« on: June 04, 2007, 08:06:53 pm »
Well ***!  I brought my 1.9 head to the machine shop a day ago and got bad news. the lifter bores need a bunch of work.  AFU was the term used.  So it looks like I am shopping for another head.  This one will be going to Dave for the P&P so it needs to be solid.  I dont care if it is a core, I am throwing all new stuff in it anyway.  I see them on ebay but they have no markings on them at all.  I dont want to spend a pile of cash and have it sent to Canada if its a cheap wang pos.  Who's got one? If its in Canada thats fine.  It can ship straight to PP.
Thanks, Jim

I have two heads right now, one rebuilt and one not, the rebuilt one is $500, the second one has some bent valve from crank pulley issue but not serious damage (at idle, no broken valves) $250. This one has 7mm valves (1997). I could ship it out, I take paypal.
