Default Check out this head and give me your opinions.

This head looks like it is pretty nice and come with some good parts. Tell me if you think it is worth the money.

Looks like you're getting VERY little(nothing) for your money. How much was that again?

$2k?!? No friggin way. No mention of who did the porting, and Crower 63401 cams are rather tame. I use the 63403s and the idle is nearly stock, but it screams in Vtec. Get yourself an unmodded b16 head and send it to Alaniz tech, Portflow, DPR...etc.

Agree. I saw that auction, and who knows what kind of work these guys do- maybe it's great, but I wouldn't spend 2G's to find out.

I think I would call them and ask for more pics and ask who ported it, and what kind of coating they put on the chambers, it doesn't sound like a bad deal because most shops charge around $850 for the porting, the valves are $340, the springs are somewhere around $350 then they would be charging you $400 for the core, and let's not forget the coating on the chamber. I would't call it a smok'in deal but it is about what you should pay. I give it

I was thinking the same thing when i saw the coating.
It is a good price, but i can't figure out who made the coating, i know swain coatings for the combustion chamber is white.
Looks like a good price, but i would do it myself just to be sure it's done the right way.
