I have a van in my shop now that is an '85 with head troubles. One head had burnt an exhaust valve and so I sent both heads plus a spare head I had sitting around the shop, to a local machine shop to be tested. All three heads came back as bad with cracks below the valve seat. I could get the customer some new AMC heads for $395 each, but they are really on a tight budget that basically didn't have room for the new head thing. Anyone have a couple of known good 1.9l heads they would like to sell or swap? I don't care about pitting as much as the cracks. Thanks, Ken Wilford Van-Again John 3:16 http://www.vanagain.com Office: (856)-765-1583 Fax: (856)-327-2242 |
