I'm in the process of completely rebuilding a 1.5 to put back in a hatch. block is done, what head work has got to be done, cleaned, refaced, etc. in order to complete the overhaul?

 

Just building back to stock?

Have a machine shop check for flat level surface / magnaflux the head. Also make sure you don't have any bent valves and you might want to put in new valve guides and seals.

 

yes, rebuilding to stock...ny clue on how much it is to replace stock guides and seals?

call around your area and find out.

 

I've got a 16 valve D15B2...I've priced new guides and seals for the entire head at about $115. Labor for installing, magnafluxing, and checking for bent valves will probably be another $100-$200 [I'm guessing], depending on what shop you go to.

 

on my d16a6 i got the head resurfaced, 4 new valves( all the others were good, stupid 2nd cylinder) a 3 angle valve job and the put everything back together i just had to adjust the valves for $225. but i did supply the stem seals
