Anybody here used one of these?

It is a new aftermarket casting B16 head, bare. $379.

I purchased a used ITR motor that was "rebuilt" and the head has a bunch of cam cap scoring and so do the cams. I'd like to throw a B16 head on it and these new castings intrigued me.

U dont see anything wrong with this picture (or is the lighting messing with my eyes)?

 

no sir... dont get that plz.

 

what do u think of that divider in the intake port of that pic i posted above?

I really hope its the light playing tricks on my eyes

 

that head will probably work ok as a OE replacement...

i was going to suggest emailing endyn about their new DHPS cylinder heads...but i just spend 5 minutes looking all over their website and it seems they no longer sell them.

BUT DHPS seems to be selling them directly now...its probably a better casting/design as the one you were looking at originally. it does cost more but may be worth the extra price. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-H...Q5fAccessories

 

2 axis??? lol

 

I never buy a Cyclinder Head that does not come with its orginal cam caps.

 

the heads appear to come with the cam caps.....but they appear to be missing the spray bars/rails.....unless it's just not pictured....

 

new and improved lifters? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-a...Q5fAccessories

interesting...was this the stuff endyn and omniman and/or donf was preaching about months back...?

 

LMFAO!!


At the contact point we made them 7 points harder on the rockwell scale, and 1 point higher all the way around. and 8.3 at the Richter scale ones your valves hits the dip!!

 

double post ;(

 

damn tripple post.. WTF i guess any software with the word chrome sucks major *****.

 

so if its a new head

why the hell do they have new valve seals and received a valvejob?
this stinks of FAIL

 

i don't see where it says it comes with new valve seals...like it matters anyway for 30 bucks worth of seals?? for the cost it's not terrible for a new head....

 

where does it say valve seals? all new heads need valve jobs so i'm not sure where you're going with that one.

fwiw, my endyn dphs head came with spray bars. they don't come with the correct studs for the middle of the valve cover though.

 

my point was if its a new head why was it touched?

 

 

cause you have to do a valve job on a new head, as i stated. you have to cut the angles in. i think you're reading the listing wrong.

 

it has new guides...not seals...and it probably had a rough/basic valve seat angles cut into the seats so it doesn't look like complete ***.

i wouldn't spend 350ish on that head...but i think if i really needed a new head i would spend the extra on the new dhps head.

 

Anyone see a problem with the vtec placement.

 

For what it's worth DHPS is local to me, there are a few locals running the b16 version of their head. I know larry was working on some issues with rocker arm wear. He had them on the website a few weeks ago when I checked but it looks like they have been removed, not sure why.

 

Danger Danger Danger.

 

If larry ditched the better DHPS heads I would absolutely keep far away from these Ebay heads.

 

why are aftermarket heads even needed?

OEM head has plenty of material for porting, and has been proven hundreds of times to be strong enough for even the highest power builds

 

B-Series has been out of the market for close to ten years, buying something new vs. an old *** 1988 pre-OBD casting makes for a better piece of mind for myself. The ebay heads don't look anything like the DHPS heads.

DHPS has been in business for over 30 years doing diesel stuff, so they have to be doing something right. They cast blocks and heads for the diesel guys.
