yes but, I have been on here 3 plus years dealt personally with one cracked head, and as far as I can remember only heard of one other, so looks rather bleak me thinks, wonder what the weigh in scrap value would be?? I would not bid more than £200 Rick

That is actually very reassuring. Its one thing I love about these engines is the cooling system. All through the hot spell the fan didnt come on once or the temp gauge move at all from normal. I've had to many cars where I have had to have the head gasket done or scrap.

Worthless, they are just bare heads no valves

I've been told that these never go it's the valves that get damaged so unless you plan on weighing them in then it's a worthless purchase

don't milners sell the rest of the " bits " to go with them ?

cncfabs · 07-09-2013, 17:26

I've just had a look and it doesn't seem like they do

They only list a bare cylinder head, same as the ones being sold on ebay

all you need to do is find a source of the other bits , and you could build a new engine !!!!

OK if you have a lot of customers with cracked or warped heads you would need to sell at least 4 to see your money back, as I said of all the head gaskets we did here only one head was cracked and have only heard of one other on here, Rick

If that's the case, then any secondhand head would provide good service if you needed one, plenty of those around I guess.

I wonder if he tried to sell the heads in smaller batches, if he would have got a better price overall.

Actually you could have used them to make top gear type coffee tables, and sell them to members of our club.

I recon that Ryan has bought them, to supplement his gear based table lamps.

What do they say...
Two heads are better than one.
