Default B Series DOHC VTEC JDM Cylinder Head on ebay????

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...76017

are these any good for that price, their website seems to be ok cept they dont have much on it

This brand new bare JDM Cylinder Head was ordered directly from Honda of Japan. This Head is unique because it comes from the Honda factory ported and polished and it has a fantastic valve job designed to optimize air flow.

You will pick up at least another 5-10hp at the tires by going to this cylinder head plus you will be able to sell your stock cylinder head to pay for a good portion of the change over.

Larger gains will be realized if you use higher lift camshafts such as Skunk 2 Stage 2 or something similar! This cylinder head comes with the factory honda installed valve guides and valve stem seals, as well as the cam caps and cam rails.

heres the head on their website

http://city-speed.com/webstore....html

or could i get a good head and make it look like that for much cheaper

*I NEED HEAD

im also liking the price on their so called skunk2 manny, the show a pic of the bottom of it prolly cuz its not really skunk2? any reason why they wouldnt show a pic of the top of it?

anybody dealt with this website plz let me know

you can get a complete usdm itr head from bert o for under 1200

if you add in the price of valves, rocket arms, lmas, springs, retainers, keepers, cams, cam gears

600 isnt that much of a good price

you can find complete gsr heads that are used for under 600. add better springs and lma's and another 400 for valve job then you have a better forming head

Sounds too good to be true. A new head, without cams or LMA's is around $900 dealer net. Something's fishy.

ive talked with the guy before

he gets them from jdm land as complete heads

he then sells of the cams, valves, and other stuff

it isnt a usdm head bought from the dealer

i thought you could get complete heads from bert-o or len for around 1200?

That sounds about right. A bare head costs around $900, a complete head is around $1150. If you buy a new head, complete is the only way to go, even if you don't need cams or LMA's. Just sell the cams and you still have more for le$$.
