I haven't updated in a while. I got a smoking deal on a 2g head last week so I'm getting excited to get this thing back together. I also picked up the oil pump with balance shaft elimination posted above. I think all i have left to buy for it is a gasket set and a baffle plate.
I got the head from a guy off of craigslist. he was playing the normal craigslist games and being a pain in my ass not being very descriptive and no price. I was getting pissed and texted turbotalon1g that if this guy tells me to make a offer I'm going to say $25. I did, fully exspecting him to tell me to get fucked but instead he replied "if you come get it tonight" so I jumped in the car .
The head is pretty clean some carbon build up and looks like 1 bent exhaust valve. I plan on replacing the valve seals and relapping the valves and running it.
$25 head
