help !!!!!!!!!!

 

It looks fixable, but with cost some $$$$$.

new valve guides,valves and valve seals.

 

throw that **** away

 

damn that looks like ***, just go pick up another head, would probably be cheaper. a shop would probably be able to fix it but it most likely not gonna be worth it. what you do snap a timing belt?

nop actually im about to buy it as an extra head to work on it, i found it for really cheap considering that is a 2002 head, came of from a rsx type s, i already have a type s head ( not on my car) but i have it, i just want to know of this is fixeable, if it will cost me 300-400 to fix, it is still a pretty good deal for the price i had it.

going to have to agree with this guy..... Yes, its fixable, but when not really knowing what it will cost you, you might as well just buy a new head. On the other hand, if you were planning some MAJOR head work, then you'd be redoing the whole thing anyways. What exactly did you/the person that had that head do?

overrev it, exactly, if im gonna do head work on it is worth, right?? i just had it so so cheap, adn that's why im interested on it, i might send it to a local shop, if not toimport builders or somewhere else to rebuild the whole thing, the only thing i was wondering was if it was fixeable. thanks guys

 

you must have revved the living **** out of it! how high did you take it and did a vavle snap or hit the piston. more specifics please.

dude, i didnt do it, im gonna buy the head as it is, the person who owned the car overrev'd it and took it to the dealer, the changed the whole engine and now a guy is selling me the head

 

Im not extremely schooled on burned up heads, but for the most part block/heads alone are strong, internals are were your problems really lie. If you are planning on FULLY REWORKING the head, then hell if it's not cracked (visibly) then use it. If you take it to import builders, they will definately be able to give you the heads up, but more than likely you can rebuild. Who wants to pay 500+(or whatever they cost) for a k20 head, when all your going to do it gut the whole thing?

put it this way, those heads run for 700+ or even much more, depends on where you buy it if you find one, even if i have to pay 500 to rebuild it, i still have a pretty good deal. but like i said, the problem is only on chamber # 4, so i dont think it would be THAT MUCH to fix it, probably the port and polished of it will cost more than fixing the guides, right?

 

yeah, I think a port and polish usually runs about 500. Check out aguilar racing, he has some stuff about where he gets his motor work done. I dont know the address off the top of my head, but Im sure you can find it pretty easy.

Are you retaining stock internals? Meaning your not going with aftermarket valves, retainers, rings, etc.

 

type r valve train, i should hit 210 whp+ easily with this head, prc pistons and some other goodies, like 1500 dollars to get there, not bad, huh??

 

not bad did you buy all the OEM stuff from honda?? or used from a type r head?

 

i'll buy the valve train next month but i already talked to the guy and semms like im getting it for 400, and to answer the question, no, i bought most of the part from "kids"

 

why dont you give Marcus a call at HeeltoeAuto.com tell him Chris from PA sent you. He sells OEM parts all the time, great prices, and he's awesome to work with.

that's enough info for me, i might just call cartek and ask them if they know them

 

stick a fork in it susie..................SHES DONE!!!!

 

Its not that bad to fix. Its around $175 depending on how bad. They reweld the chamber, replace the valve seals, guides, etc, and machine the bowls and everything. The pic below is the head I have that I got the estimate on and the estimate was $175. Just have all the chambers reworked and build the head to your satisfaction.
