This is just too easy - at the corner of Broadway and Main you will find a cute blonde named Lola - just ask her

Sorry brother I couldn't resist - ebay or one of the sponsoring vendors would be my guess. I have called Johnny at JLP many times for reconditioned parts - they have been great.

D-Day

Good Luck!

yep. the only difference is the cams and afew plugs on the heads in some oil passages. the holes on the front are for the chain tensioners, but you block off the ones on the back when you flip the head around.

Angry I think I got scewed

Well I bought a set of heads from Brain bypass that were off a 03. One i knew was Damaged but the other was supposed to be in good condition. Well i got them in and got to looking at them and the one that was suppsed to be damaged from a pistion hitting it was not from getting hit but from melting. Got to looking at the other and it was hit with a pistion and the spark plug hole was egged. Just venting

damage

The head that was supposed to be in good condition. The chamber that had the spark plug removed. It had very good evidence of a pistion strike and the bottom of the spark plug hole was egged(not round) the head that had the damage that u sent was expected but not the other.
