Valve cover pending payment. '99 head with MSM cam and reroute still available!

I'm seeing a black square for the final picture, is everyone else seeing that?

 

Nope. I see a tidy engine bay photographed from the front.

 

Interested in the head but have some questions:
1. Is the head ready to bolt on and good to go? Other than the pending valve cover/sensors.
2. Does the head have the msm intake cam installed and properly shimmed?
3. How much total time or miles is on this head?
4. If it was rebuilt/serviced at some time, what was replaced/serviced(shaved/cut,lapped,seals,guides, ect.)
Sorry for all the questions but need clarification on these items.
Thanks!!!

 

1. Not really. I'd recommend hot tanking the head, skimming the head gasket surface just to clean it up, replacing the valve seals, and checking for good seal on all the valves. I just did this with my VVT head and it cost me $220. Just to be clear, I consider this the absolute minimum for any head I'm about to install, and the typical value of an NB head ($300+) reflects this necessity.
2 & 3. I installed the stock '99 engine with the BP5A cam, shimmed it, all less than 10k ago. I haven't checked clearances since the install, however I dyno'd it on a DynoJet with typical results a week before removing the head.
4. As far as I know and from what I've seen removing it, the entire engine was untouched from factory beyond my BP5A cam install. Head is clean, maybe around 100k, however it came from a swapped NA6, so real mileage is unknown. For all I know it's got 300k and an owner that knows the value of reasonable and quality oil changes intervals.

 

Damn straight.

 

MSM valve cover sold!

Feel free to make an offer on the remaining reroute, '99 head, and BP5a cam.

 

Bump. Exhaust cam was sold, but the caps, bolts, and sprocket are still included. I'm reducing the price on the head to $225. Either use HLAs and your NA8 cams, or grab a used 99-05 exhaust cam before bringing the head to a machine shop. I should also note that a nearly brand new upper timing cover, pictured below, is included. Just wiped it down with some windex, hence the slight discoloration on the front. It's in perfect shape.

There's also a picture of the current state of the head, including the freeze plugged and blocked off front port. The reroute will include the left over Supermiata front thermostat neck block off and related plugs. I'm also reducing the prices on a few of these things to get them sold.

So to sum up, prices NOT including shipping:

1. Exhaust camless '99 head with new upper cover: $225
2. Soku CNC reroute spacer and all required hoses, fittings and 180* thermostat: $125
3. MSM BP5a cam: $200

Contact me with offers and questions!

 

 

Who makes the Soku reroute? Haven't been able to dig up much on Google.

 

 

 

Here's some pictures of the reroute that are for some reason extremely huge.

 

 

Literally just ordered that cam and stumbled on this. Ah, life.

 

 

Sir,
Did you get the payment for the cam?

 

Yes, sorry, responding to your PM now

Edit: Cam, reroute, and valve cover are all sold, thank you everyone for your business.

I still have the bare (with solid lifters) '99 head I'd let go for $200obo. I have a line on some local cams, let me know if anyone is interested!
