Title: 2.3 built head
Post by: SR71blackbird on March 07, 2012, 06:05:01 PM
This is just a tester post for now to see if anybody would be interested in my cylinder head. It has a full Bo-port roller assembly with larger valves and a stage 2.5 cam. It is fully ported. I'll be selling the head within 2 months. im curious what people will be willing to pay for it.

When i start my car up, a puff a blue smoke comes out. Ive been told it is a valve stem seal. I am hearing chatter from the valve train
...
Im thinking the shop i had build my cylinder head had a bunch of monkeys working on it!

lol bingo! But from the people ive talked to, it is just the valve stem seal. Also, the chatter goes away in 15-20 seconds after starting the car. So that is a cheap easy fix. My buddy blew his motor so im taking his head and putting a stage 3 cam in it. I'll take it to a different local shop after i take it off and have them check it out and clean it before a sell it.

Well right now the figure is around $1000-$1200. I have just over $1800 invested. It will be cleaned and checked for cranks before i sell to insure it is in great shape.

It all depends on the experience level of the person who ported it, what it flows, and what cam/valvetrain it has in it. A "Bo" head carries more value, due to reputation, than one ported by the local speed shop who doesn't really know the 2.3 head.

THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE! instead of selling my head, i'll be selling my friends head.
It has a full boport valve train with larger valves with boport stage 1.5 cam and has the bowls, guides and 3 angle valve job done to it.
$700 after cleaning and checking.
