darn, been replacing my head gasket and the head failed the pressure test, leaking from under an intake valve seat, machinist said I need a new head. Anyone have one for sale? Resources?

Some have also bought good used heads from VM Specialist in the UK. Longer lead time and money transfer involved.

This is the third time I've heard about a possible cracked head from above a valve seat. Hmm...

The best value on heads is from The VM Specialist, they are about $400 shipped from the UK. They are a "breaker" or junk yard over there, so this will be a used head but every one that I have seen from them has been a good unit to install once they have fresh valves installed. Do not get the valves from them, get them packaged from IDparts so you know they are brand new.

I love IDparts for most things, but they are limited in what their suppliers charge, especially on low volume items. The cost for the head from them is nuts.
