BRISBANE ONLY
Hi guys
I've done a whole lot of money here. Wanted to reco the head on my car, but didn't have time to pull the head off first.. so I got a spare and had that reco'd instead. When I went to fit the new head... it's different!
I have an 18RC and apparently the heads are different to the 18R one I bought and spent the money recoing! So, if you have an 18R and want to freshen it up or have any smoke problems, have I got the deal for you!
I bought the head, had it fully reco'd, chemically cleaned, crack tested, valve grind & seals, new welsch plugs, new top coolant outlet, etc, etc... then painted it up in high temp paint, had the cam cover finished in a great black wrinkle coat, even spent up on stainless allen-key bolts for the cam cover and stainless bolts for the top coolant outlet.
All up has cost me well over $300... closer to $400 in fact, but will consider all reasonable offers. Unfortunately my digital camera isn't working, but you have to see it to believe it - welcome to come and inspect! Wilbo666 will agree that this is a work of art so it's a shame to sell 
Absolutely nothing wrong with it except that it didn't fit my 18RC, have a receipt for $200 for the reco job and the rest of the work you can see by eye has been obviously been done. Come out and inspect, make an offer... I want to get some of the money back so that I can do exactly the same thing to the head I finally pulled off the motor!
Cheers
Leigh
