Awesome deal as long as you get them checked or he has them checked.

 

[95gtdrop]

javi, why not?
even if they get checked out?
what all needs to be checked? valve seals, and plane on the mountuing to make sure they arnt warped?

Yep.

Take them to a machine shop and make sure they are ok.

Does he have any paperwork for them especially if they only have 2000 miles on them??

i got my afrs used they checked out good at the machine shop and only had 200 miles on them. 50 to get them checked out not bad. just get them checked out before you give him all the money or any of the money.

 

[95gtdrop]

ok i will seee if hell pay to have em checked. im not gonna pay to have them checked out.

 

[rz5.0]

have him pay for it then you pay him if they check out ok. have them resurface while they are there.

I bought used heads one time.

I currently have a brand new set of trickflows I am waiting to install. I got them on sale a few months ago for $1k shipped, they will be on sale sooner then later again and for and extra $400 it is worth the wait......

 

[LAFENATU]

they will be on sale sooner then later again and for and extra $400 it is worth the wait......

So if there is a pair of heads with 2000 miles on them that check out perfect from a machine shop.

They are $600, why is it better to wait and spend an extra $400 on them?

 

[ttocs]

does the machine shop offer any kind of warranty/guarantee of the 2k miles and that they will be perfect? They check them out but the set I had, had a bolt for the valve covers stripped out. Little crap like that wasn't found until smoke was comming off of the header from the oil leaking out. Sure it is fixable but take the time to tear the top end apart, head off and get it retapped, put everything back together and how much have you now saved?

Little details can make big differeneces to me....

 

[95gtdrop]

dude hasnt replied back to me yet. soo we will see if hes a box of craiglist flakes or not

 

[95gtdrop]

so i found out the heads are in the machine shop now getting new valve seats put in. when they do that, do they check everything else?

 

[Javi]

Make sure has a receipt foe everything, its been done to the heads.
shouldnt have a problem or just take them get them checked out yourself

 

[95gtdrop]

i told him he has to have receipt and paperework. if iots all good im gonna get em. he did run no2 with them. should i worry about the strength of them? he says they were ported also.

 

[Javi]

nah, if i were you id call the shop myself and check to see if the job was done and not just a hook up receipt. lol
But im very paranoid.

 

[95gtdrop]

me too. i would prefer to go to the shop and pick em up.

 

[Javi]

ask him if you can go pick them up with him?

 

[95gtdrop]

i will. for sure.

 

[Javi]

nice, good luck man.
