getting a built head with my parts car
 

yeah so if you saw the thread about the parts car (89 hatch $60) the guy is throwing in a head. it has an AEM tru time cam gear on it. i thought that was pretty cool until i talked to this other guy, he has the built bottom end to the head. he said it has a sohc zc cam, valves, valve springs, retainers, and the cam gear. he said he fried the block, but the pistons and rods are good. high compression, like 11.4 to 1 or somewhere in that area. he told me i can get them for $100. when the motor wasnt fucked, he was eating up b16's with it, not highly modded, but b16's. for a single cam non vtec, that is really good. especially around here. not a whole lot of people are into the single cams around here, so parts are cheap - when you can find them.

woo woo

Re: getting a built head with my parts car
 

an aem cam gear does not mean its built. ::)

Re: getting a built head with my parts car
 

is it just a SOHC ZC head with an aem cam gear????stock parts, or are you saying he actually bought aftermarket parts ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

for $100 I don't know....

Re: getting a built head with my parts car
 

No, its actually a built head. its an SI head with a ZC cam. It has aftermarket valves, valve springs, and retainers. and the cam gear. and i get the whole car and the head for $60 - not $100

Re: getting a built head with my parts car
 

for that price it sound like a stock head w/ a cam gear. it will be slight improvement over a stock a6 cam but not much

Re: getting a built head with my parts car
 

even if it is still a stock head, it is not bad for $60. Get it and see if you can take pictures of the head, maybe we can tell if it is in fact built. If he did it ask for specs, brands and such. It will be nice to know so you know what you are doing later on.

no see, he doesn't know anything about the head- just wants to get rid of it. i talked to the guy who built the head, he told me about it. the guy who has it now just wants it out of his garage.

the don't think about it an snatch that bitch!!!!!

Re: getting a built head with my parts car
 

A SOHC ZC cam is the same as an A6 cam... or close enough not to worry about.

Re: getting a built head with my parts car
 

take it and if it is built then you are lucky if not then you only paid 60 for it and a parts car. are you the one with that wack ass hood if so does the parts car come with another hood

Re: getting a built head with my parts car
 

haha yeah thats my car with the wack ass hood, it does have a hood so it will get on there

Re: getting a built head with my parts car
 

I couldn't make a whole lot of sense out of your post but if the head isn't ported and polished I wouldn't really call it built. A mediocre cam with upgraded valvesprings and retainers isn't really a big upgrade. Now if it was a fat cam...I could understand.

Re: getting a built head with my parts car
 

I would be shocked to see aftermarket springs in an a6 head because there not needed unless your running a monster of a cam
