Rebuilt Cylinder head... should I buy it?
I already got burned on one buy for a cyl head, so I wanna consult all you experts before I try again.

He's asking 320 (+40sh = 360) OBO. Is this a deal or no? I'm not sure what to think about rebuilt heads.

Honestly, you can probably find one on here much cheaper.
I sold one for $150 and I'm about to buy a new one cheaper than that.
If you do get that you'll need a cam seal and a VTEC solonoid (I don't know how much those run. Might want to check your local junkyard first.)

yeah, a used one will be fine - no need to spend that much. I paid $42 for my solenoid, including shipping (average price from what I've seen), and a cam seal should be pretty cheap. If you search hard enough, you can probably find a perfectly fine, complete cylinder head for $100-$150.
