im looking to buy a head off any 2.3 turbo. id like it if it was magnafluxed to check for cracks by a pro. i already bought one head that ended up having cracked valve seats, so never again! if you have any leads that would be great too! thank you
Your best is going to be a head from a non-turbo 2.3, either D-port or oval port will work. I've got an uncracked N/A small valve d-port core and one that I'm porting that will be getting big valves that I'll have for sale mid-February.
I'm not saying uncracked turbo d-ports aren't out there, but they are getting REAL hard to find. I just grab N/A heads anymore.
I have 4 turbo heads. all pulled from running engines, no visable cracks I can see,. I sell them for $90+ shipping. I don't have anyone local that is worth a to check it out further.
