ok so my timing belt went out on me on my b17 and i got it all fixed and my head seems fine with little noise but it did it before it happened. well i want to rebuild it what should i do with it? it will be goin on my stock block with jdm itr header 2.5 exhaust. im thinking either....

type r valvetrain, cams with valve job and (P&P)? if worth it???????

buying a new complete itr cylinder head for like 1400?? i think it would be cheaper then going with option 1 maybe???

i want a streetable DD that i can have fun with i know its a stock block but and dont have funds for that part of it yet so thinking headwise. any other opinions????

Do you have access to pics of the head before you purchase? If you do, post some here. A bad port-job/valve job will leave you worse off than a stock casting.

you should ask for a pic / pics actually looking down the ports and of the combustion chamber. as Combustion Contraption stated, only way to tell if the "port n polish'd" head is worth a damn.

those journals where the cams sit look a little nasty, could just be the pic...

 

Is it possible to find out who did the work to the head? That would help as to if its worth it or not and what is he asking for the head?

And you are bumping this thread because...?
Have your head professionally done.
Don't buy a head with an unknown history.
Common sense will dictate your course of action.
Or you could keep bumping this thread and listen to the 40 different opinions of the 'experts' that now abound on H-T.

 

sorry didnt mean to bump it i have another thread FS on another site local and its a mistake my fault. yea but i understand what your saying.

 

fixed title instead of creating another thread
