haha. its not stock valvetrain. it is rlz single springs with aluminum retainers.

its my old head. i had the work done in 03 and hes had it ever since. as far as 97 or 95, couldnt tell you, but whats the difference?

if you arent happy with it, send it my way. ive got a 98 itr head, jun springs with crower ti retainers and a set of ctr cams ill happily trade you.

Look at the return address on the package and pay him a visit.

If u picked it up then thats your fault because you should have known what to look for.

& Dude says he will trade you for a ITR head... Sounds like a good deal!

i like the head im jus mad that he aint tell me the valves were smashed. they had to be grinded jus to get ther keepers and retainers off. and a small refund of 250 bucks would make me happy

Wow I see what you mean. It look like it had to be grinded alot...

I hope the material that was grinded down dosen't compromise the force the valve stem can hold and snap. I'd buy new valves because I would be to put back together and they end up being damaged or bent...

Never tried it so I'm not very sure how they will hold up. Good luck man.
