My head is at RS Machines getting repaired and will be ready this wednesday. Not for sure if you would want to ship it all the way to the west coast. Depending on your budget it may be wise just to get another head.

Good luck, it can be repaired.

i need contact numbers and price...

 

why not just get another head........why do you NEED that head to be repaired?........it would probably cost you quite a bit to repair it over buying another used one.

 

well i allready got a new stock head to get my car back on the road..
but the head that broke is a DH-racing built head thats why i want to get it fixed...

 

any more thoughts?

 

It doesn't really look like you broke much. It'd be easier to tell if you cleaned it. Replace the valve, smooth out the rough edges, and roll.

 

i thinks its gonna take a lil more than jus that theres gashes in the chamber and needs to be rewelded

 

help me fkr'z

with that attitude no one is going to help you...

 

ok muh bad can any body else with experience give me some advice?

 

You will be better off in the long run to get you another head. I would also talk to the guys who did the head work and find out what cause the valve to break off, did you over REV the motor???? ALso you biggest issue now is your sealing surface on the head is FU@@.... you will have to have it shaved buy how much im not sure and that will raise you compression and throw off your timing... Save you self time and money and get another head..

 

ahah the head is a built DH-Racing head and is allready milled .030 i contacted Eddie at RS machines in CA and he said he can do it for 400-500 but im jus tryin to get a better price, its a $1300 head, then u might see it on H-T for sale

 

i allready got a rebuilt stock head at the shop gettin put on to get my car back on the road. so if this gets fixed ill either use it next year or sell it..

 

just picked my head up from RS...i will post pics later on this weekend. I had the chamber reshaped, super tech springs and retainers, and aftermarket valves....head is bulletproof now

 

how much did u get it all done for?

 

no one else.?

 

i'm not a fan of DHR. not anything against Dale, but i used to talk to one of his boys now and then and he was a turd. not to mention i've never read anything good about anything done by them, and they way overrate their stuff. come on, a +30whp intake manifold? yeah, *maybe* on a race engine vs. a stock manifold.

 

I can't really tell by the pics but from what I can see the head looks repairable, and doesn't need a lot milling..Less than 500 bucks, and done right...good luck!

Aite guys I asked for suggestions and some help/info, i didnt ask for a bunch of bullshit talk. Helpfull info please! And yes DH-Racing is not all that good, very slow service, hard to reach anyone ever. now that Dave is working by himself its gonna be worse.. but there goes my 1200 dollar head..

well lets put it this way, i spent $1200 on the head, i can spend another 400-500 to fix it and sell it for 1100-1300 and get some of my money back or use it next year since the head i got now is stock..

 

no way your gonna get that fixed for $5-600. Cut your losses man.
