Here's the invoice of the work done & some photo's. I feel like a little boy finding $10 on the side of the road, so I can buy some candy. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

**** me, $318 for a 2nd hand head.

I run a 818 b witch isn't to big good for wat I need for now

no you were charged 320 for a second hand head then another 300 for basic reco.i payed $50 for my second hand head then spent $130 pressure testing/cleaning and facing it then had a freind asemble it. your invoice sounds funny or is it just me?you were charged for a basic reco $300 then charged all that extra to have the other stuff added upon a basic reco if that makes sence.so it sounds like to me they reco'd a standard head then ripped it down and put the good gear in???? and thats way to much for the head in my opinion lol

What happened was, I'd taken my head in to have a wade cam installed. But they found cracks between to valves and spark plug holes. So I had another spare head. I'd taken one in and was also rejected as it had weld marks on the top inside of the head, also was warped. Both of them where no good for high HP. So he brought a good second hand head which has been tested for alloy weakness/softening. To have a full race spec engine for $6,680 is a good price I reckon. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

fkkk big dollar head my bottom end cost less well yeah very close lol

Not bad for the bottom end, head seems pricey. What are your boltons going to be?

T04Z(1.00) & 6boost manifold. Also will be upgrading the injectors from 660cc to 1000cc.

just incase someone jumps the gun man im not haven a dig but i just hate how shops put money ontop you no your head looks killer!!! but for 3k fk me you would want a solid cam and adjustable lifters i got told for soooo long that u cant do a gtr head under 5 k i just laughed!! 5 k was like base and 10k was the ducks !! i will post up a price list in 2 secs when i grade it off my other lappy ---------- Post added 11-04-10 at 17:57 ---------- billet cams 800 valve springs with ti retainers 600 stainless valves/exorst stainless + nitride treatment 620 i think they worked out to be 24 each including postage head with stock plenum and butterflys 700 (i have had it for almost 2-3 years) machine valve seats 80 (machinest ****ed up and quoted me 80 instead of 160) head studs half inch where i think 280 not sure ill ask vpw but they where less then 300 head gaskit 280 (metal) head cheek include crack testing ra ra ra 200 odd hks cam gears 330 i payed for them then the supplyer told me they where on back order from hks and wont expect them till june...i cracke the fking ****s and told the cnt how do u let me pay for something then tell me there on back order so he offerd me the tomei ones at the same price and express posted them!! i was rapped as i was talking to sticks and he imformed me the hks only has 3 locking points wheres the tomei ones have 5 i also need some more machining dont to the head when these fking cams arive and there will be another cost with setting the head up as the gtr head uses bucket and shim setup but you can use a 1 peice setup out of a toyta 4 cylinder disel but they are about 30 odd bucks each from used parts toyota

Well I've place the head on & seems to be running rich.(little bit of back smoke coming out of exhaust). Would it be fine to drive around for a little bit? Have to drive from Gippsland to Mentone for a tune, would it be OK for the trip? Should I just turn the boost down until tune?

Hi Guys, Quick question, l have the wade 1147c cam, which will be going in this week and it says to "machine .053 off top of the lifter housing", is it compulsory to do so or can l get away without machining the lifter housings? If l don't machine the lifter housings is it still ok to run as is? cheers

any one used the tighe 967 cam ???

My car has been at a workshop for some time now finally getting a dyno tune. But they said it was detonating. They couldn't figure out the problem. Then they where telling me the valves might be hitting the piston's. Is this heard of. Basic engine package is. Percision motor sport HP conrods, ACL race series forged pistons, wade 1147c, ACL MLS gasket & Manley stainless steel valves. I've never had this problem with a standard cam, at the end of the day we where totally confused & the car still sits there not tuned lol.

If they can't work that out mate, get your car and go elsewhere. Sound like complete ****ing idiots.. if a piston kissed a valve you would know about it.
