Good price or rip off?(D16Y8 head)
I'm looking into buying a 99 Civic EX head and putting it on my '00 LX. The head has 3200 miles on it, has ferrea tit. valves, springs, and retainers, ported and polished and a 5 angle job. Head also comes with intake manifold and TB. Also for sale with it is a crane cam(#252-0010) and a skunk2 cam gear. Let me know what you think of these prices? Low or High?
D16Y8 built head - $700
Crane Cam - $400
Cam Gear - $50
EX ecu and harness - $180
Total - $1330

The head is already ported and polished......good deal
YOu can get brand new Crower cams in any spec you want for 325.
Cam gear..... ???? What good is a cam gear on a SOHC.....
ECU...... you can find better deals.

1330? doesn't sound bad. does the head come complete?(ie. vtecsolenoid) are you also getting the rail and t/b for that price? well then, it's a good deal
i still need a damn solenoid for my $200 ex head... can anyone point me out to a good direction. i've checked out hondaautomotive, thepartstrader, my local honda parts and service shop, and a couple of other sites...
oh, here's a question that's been buggin' me, can i use a solenoid off an earlier model sohc vtec? are these units interchangeable?(ie. any dohc or sohc vtec solenoid). inform me h-t, thanx

Unless you are a diehard fan of the sohc, That kind of money has you over halfway to a good swap. Maybe not what you wanted to hear, but my .02 none the less
