This guy hit the nail on the head. I have no experience with performance heads therefor I wasn't real sure what I had on my hands, all I really knew was that it was pretty dirty. That and I'm not sure when fedex delivered it but it sat infront of my garage for atleast 8 hours to a day.

Mike is a good guy, don't get the idea he's a scammer. The minute I told him about the condition in which I recieved the head and that I was unhappy with it, he offered to take whatever the machine shop charged to have it all cleaned up and back within stock specs off of the price of the head, and he even offered to send me money to have it done if I didn't have enough. He's been very helpful through the whole thing, so don't get the idea he's a deadbeat. He also took the price of the new valve seals off of the price of the head.

As far as the head goes, I am going to keep it and I'll post pictures of it as soon as I get it back from the machine shop...with a better camera :P

Cliff notes:

Mike is a good guy
I'm keeping the head
He's taking care of the clean up job of the head

Re: New cylinder head

i dont give a ---- who anyone is.. the head looks like ----, i dont care if that ------ you call god sold it to you himself...

Re: New cylinder head

if it is a pr3 head then i looks like the combustion chambers have been welded to the p72 style to increase the compression.

Re: New cylinder head

Thats what a number of people on honda-tech said too...I'm going to have a lot of fun figuring out what my compression ratio is =/
