Soon to be for sale: Complete .1R heads

[ptuomov]

I'll have a set of .1R heads for sale soon (not yet).

This is going to be a complete package: Heads with valves installed, cams, camcaps, lifters, cam chains, cam sprockets, etc.

The package will be coming off a running '87 S4 engine with about 100k miles on it.

I am advertising this package as something that could be used to repair a timing-belt failure engine to it's previous used condition with a reasonably low cost. The cost should be reasonably low, because the package includes cams that match lifters etc. so it's about as close to a quick swap as possible. No need to buy new lifters, etc.

The package wouldn't bring the engine to new condition. These are used heads and have miles on them. They work, but if one wants to bring them to "rebuilt" condition, refresh work may be needed, depending on measurements. I have no idea about the wear level etc.

Also, this set of heads probably not be an ideal starting point for any forced-induction performance build, because it's .1R set with thinner bolt bosses.

PM me if interested. Haven't decided the asking price, so comments also appreciated.

I have been trying to sell a set of used complete R1s (with matching cams) for some months now. There has been zero interest in the heads at my at the $500 asking price. I hope you have better luck.

I would think 400 to $500 for just the heads and valves should be a good price.

[ptuomov]

Giovanni, namasgt -- I'll price them to move them. If $500 is too much, then less than that.

A set of '87 exhaust manifolds are coming off as well, in case anyone has any need.

Probably about $400 per pair more than .1R's. I don't have any. The "other Greg" may know someone who's taking of late-model heads from his car, judging based on recent posts.

I am curious. What are you planning to do with them? The only meaningful difference is bolt boss length, which may help in forced induction motors.

On the one hand, I don't think the ports have any more material or any other major differences between .1R and later revisions. On the other hand, if one is going to dump thousands and thousands of dollars on porting heads, then probably paying that extra $?00 or so for the .2R heads with thicker bolt bosses is not that much.
