im taking a head i bought used to a machine shop to get milled and have a compression test anything else i should get done before i put it on the car? i got all my other parts

 

oh yea and has anyone ever wnt to a junkyard and seen all the civic/integra/crx shells and just got strait up horny? i know i did lol

 

depends. how much you wanna spend? looking for HP? what are your plans? etc etc.

 

dont really need more horse power but i wouldnt turn it down either never took a head in no idea what any of it will cost me, taking it in monday

 

well is this your daily driver then? no plans on turbo?
sounds like you shouldn't do anything to it, to me.
save your money for other things unless you're willing to put some money into it.

 

If your funds are in order I would have a valve job done as well.

 

its my daily driver and i only ahve the one care and if theres a cheap way to give it a few hp i wouldnt mind doing it but no no boost least for a while and do u have a ruff estimate on milling and a compression test

 

valve job yes how much for this and could they do it the day i took it to them u think? even if i had to go to a biger city like Louisville or sumthin

 

If the machine shop isnt very busy it shouldn't take more than a few hours to have the valve job done. You could mill the head but I would advise against that on a stock motor because it can cause other issues.

 

for the valve jobs is it just like adjusting them or putting new ones? and how much you think that would cost and i was told by someone i should mill it first but u say no why not exactly i dont wanna do it if its gonna reck my car and i dont wanna do it if its not needed i was just told it was lol

 

A valve job involves recutting the seats for the valves as well as cutting the valves to make them like new. It depends on how much you want to mill the head, milling it to much can cause issues with timing belts and timing.

 

just a minimum milling i guess and for the valvs am i looking at like 100 or more like 500

 

bump

 

bump

 

morning bump lol

 

What are you bumping this for? All these questions should be posed to the MACHINE SHOP. They are the ones that will quote you the price and do the work.

 

i dont want an exact price and since there closed i cant ask them im asking if someone knows about how much so i know what to expect

 

Is it an emergency? Monday is tomorrow. No one can quote you a price for a shop in your area.

 

no its not and i dont want a quote from a shop in my area i just wnted a general idea i dont know if this stuff will cost like a 100 500 or 1000 and im wondering if someone has a small idea

 

How would I know what a shop in your area would charge in KY when I live in TN? How would someone in CA tell you? They can tell you what it costs in CA. Would that give you an accurate idea of what it costs in KY? No. Surely there are more shops than the one you're talking about. Call them ALL and get quotes. That should tell you what you should expect to pay.

I mean you stated in your first post you were taking it to a shop. Implying that you already made up your mind where you were going. What have they quoted you? Did you even get a quote? Why not? What is your budget? Why are you even getting the head milled/worked on in the first place?

No turbo? Daily driver? Leave it stock. There is no reason to get anything done to it if there isn't anything wrong with it. ABSOLUTE waste of funds. Even MORE so on the lowly Y7. Save for your turbo build. Stock heads (on D-series) are good for 300+ horsepower. You won't need any work done even if you went turbo.

I would take the advice given in post #5.

 

whats a ruff estimate for tennesee even if i had a ruff estamate from someone in calafornia it would be better then having no idea at all i got the head from a junkyard and thats why i was going to take it to get it cleaned up and stuff i wanna make sure its ready to go on and stuff it not the one that came off the car im not gonna get a turbo for the car because ill be selling it next summer and im going to buy a prelude . i just wanna get the car running again and im just waiting to put the head on. and like ive said before the shops arent open on the weekend.. so i cant call them just got the head yesterday and taking it in monday morning and putting it on monday after it is done.

 

and also it looks like 2 of the valves are not flush with the bottom of the head not supposed to be like that is it?
