Can this be fixed? The damage did not past the valve seats but this chamber is done for, any one know a good shop who could fix this? I am willing to have the chambers ported but i'm not too sure what the pros/cons of doing this. Please Help! TIA

 

I will say no to fixing it. You will probably spend more money trying to. Plus the machine shop will say no. Just get a used head and have that machined.

 

oh my you can scrap that head lol.

 

Trash!

 

Lol, that head can easily be fixed. But if you are going to fix then it should perform much better than original.

 

Like mar778c said that is actually an easily fixed head , in comparison to some of the others I have seen. You just have to decide is the money you are going to put into repairing it, worth it to you? Or should you just go buy another . . Your call

 

you could buy a used head and port and polish it cheaper then fixing that head

 

Chamber fully welded
Chamber re-shaped and blended
Machined with new valve seat inserts
New valve guides
Valve job

That is going to be a lot of work

Buy a new head.

 

Thanks all, I know its pretty brutal but I'll need to get a quote before looking into buying a new head. Anyone know a good shop in Socal I can get a quote from?

 

dont listen to the trash it comments, that head is fixable, just take it to a reputable head shop and have them inspect the head.

 

Cheaper to buy another head, and maybe a Gsr head this time cuz that's a b16 head.

 

Im surprised no else noticed that. LOL

 

just buy a "new" one...here: http://www.theoldone.com/components/...es%20Specs.htm

 

Whats the piston and wall look like?

 

thats what id do right there. for the money youd drop in that head you can get a literatly brand new head thats been ported and all

 

Bro who are you kidding..

That head "might" be fixable if someone's willing to put the hours in.. maybe..
thats only after he's spent enough money to buy a fully built head.. with a nice street polish..

Not to mention, w/e is done to that chamber, is going to have to be done to all the others to make it even bro... That head is probably %15 on the fixable side.. and will take weeks, maybe even months..

Thats horrible, dont "feed" the trash comments.. that head isn't worth fixing.

 

im kidding no one, if seen heads that don has fixed, and they looked far worse then that, so i know you know who im talking about. sure you can go buy a used head and take that risk or you can put that head in the shop get some nice work done to it and have almost a entirely new head when done.

to me it will cost more than buying a stock gsr head, but i would spend more to get a better head in return.

if he is one a budget then yes buying a new used head would be better, but you and me both know that that head can be turned into something better, its not like its trash. just like most blown blocks arent trash.

 

how can you tell its a b16 head?

the piston walls look fine, maybe a good hone at the most.

 

gsr=closed chamber
b16=open chamber

 

That's a GSR head, these guys are wrong.

Post a pic of a chamber thats still OK.

 

i was gonna say .... looks like a gsr head to me. i thought b16s have round water passages?

 

Combustion Contraption, you have pm.
