The following are some pics of the 98 LS head i recently purchased.
For the most part i just want to know if anything looks bad/wrong/not in the right place.
Also i got quoted on a PnP/3 angle valve job, for this head for 700 bucks. Does that sound about right ?
This head has about 100,000 miles on it, i already know i need a valve cover gasket since there isnt one at all.
Thanks in Advance.

 

why not a GSR head for that much ?
everything looks in place

 

He said 700 for the p&p job, not cost of buying it.

Looks pretty good, not sure about the cost for a p&p,
even though that does seem steep for the type of gains.

 

yeah youre right, i misread that, but for 700 you can still get a gsr head..that was my point pretty much..unless you want no vtec for whatever reason

 

well i have a LS and this will be part of my LS-Turbo build, and i only paid 60 bucks for this head.

One more question is whats the best way to store this head while im waiting for head bolts, crower valvetrain, cams ect ect.. Right now its in a box with bubble wrap all over it.
thanks.

 

everything looks fine to me. don't forget the header bolts/studs.

 

looks good. great price too.

 

im i missing 7 studs on the exhaust side and 1 on the intake side ?

 

also how should i store this while im waiting on parts ?

my friend just wrapped the head in plastic wrap until he built his motor...make sure its coated in wd40 before you wrap it...

thats what id do

Also, I agree on soaking it with wd then wrapping it, it'd be a good choice.

damn, thats cheap.

 

i would send it to a machine shop and get it checked out first. pressure test it and leak test it, see if it needs any work before you put it aside becuase you don't want to go to install it and find out you have a problem. better safe then sorry

 

thanks for all the replies

the first thing thats gonna be done is the pnp/valve job, after that it will be stored away for a couple of months. Do you guys recommend any shops that i can send to in CA/NV/AZ ?

 

He went LS because he couldn't handle hitting 3rd gear VTAKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!

 

i have a question...finally the opportunity comes up...can someone edit the pic of the head with the valve cover off and show me exactly where to put the feeler gauge when doin a valve adjustment....like cirlce it with blue and put an arrow on which side to put it in at...id appreciate it much...ive been tryin to get my valve to stop clickin and ive had no luck

ive noticed cylinder #1 is at tdc..so if u could explain on that cylinder....
thanks so much to whoever is willing to do it

Bro help me find a good shop in CA/NV/AZ that i can send my head to get worked on
thanks.

Also i was told to stand my whole cylinder head vertical, i know this applies to a crankshaft but does it matter to a head ?
