dropped into my local wrecker the other day still trying to source a decent 12 port black head to use with my EFI project and managed to find one buried amongst a heap of blue and red heads, well after nocking him down from over $100 to a previously quoted $50 ( he didnt like that

) i dropped it off at a local machine shop for a clean and shave, after checking it over in a better light noticed that there was a heap of MUD

in the water jackets so a acid bath was now the go, but after that i wiould have to pull it apart and replace the seals. not something i am confident in doing. now more money than i budgeted for :-/. bit the bullet and after comparing prices for a little bit more (couple of hundred $) decided to go all out and have it set up for unleaded

.
well, went in to pick it up yesterday and the guy at the counter just smiled at me and said that it was a good thing i was using my head and not just an exchange

turns out my $50 head was fitted with larger XU1 spec stainless steel valves and has had a bit of porting work done in the past

. now i have a brand new worked head set up for unleaded all for a very very nice price.
so at last i get a nice suprise when i go to pick something up not a shock and pain to the hip pocket
