WTB: PORT AND POLISHED HEAD

[pudge76]

DOES ANYBODY DO IT FOR CHEAP IN SOCAL OR ARIZONA? PERFERABLY IN SOCAL /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

^^^ Cheap is not the answer your looking for when your thinking about porting and polishing. Very easy to mess things up. Find a good 4G63 guy on the net and call and talk to them about it. Don't find just one......

I have a head ported, polished, decked, new seals, Brian Crower springs, Inconol valves 2mm oversized. $2000.00 shipped. It's fresh and still bagged from the machine shop. PM for pictures.

Yea cheap and porting do not go hand and hand /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif To do it properly it takes many many hours.

2000 shipped lmao

 

[PreskitVR4]

Buy my car and you get one in the "spare parts" it comes with. It has "Spanky" scribed with an electric pencil.

Quoting pudge76:
2000 shipped lmao


What's so funny about that? He has big money in that head ported by one of the best in the business.

 

[rdomeck]

Agreed...$2000 seems like a really good price. Inconel valves, new springs, seals, etc. That is half the cost right there. Not to mention the porting and the cost of the head! Surprised it's not double that.....

Gentlemen,

Can we keep the clutter down in this thread, please?

Anyone that knows what goes into a properly prepared head knows what the costs are.

... any hack can grind a lil here and there and call it "ported", but to get a quality piece, you will spend some serious money.



2k is not an unreasonable cost at all for a well done piece, assembled with quality components.



o.p. Good luck trying to find a dirt cheap head, (TRY SHOUTING, IT MAY HELP!!!!!!!!!!!)

In fact, good luck just trying to find a good core to work with!

Most of them have been cut multiple times and aren;t even suitable for a stock re-build /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I've got a ported and polished head sitting in the garage that I've got no immediate plans for. Got it off of Harold Horton's 9.5X DSM. Its got +2mm valves, dual springs and retainers and ported by Ladd's porting in Elkridge, MD. All components (springs, retainers, and valves) are Supertech. I'd take $1550 plus shipping costs. I do not need to sell so I'm firm on the price. I can provide pics upon request.
