Well, I must say I'm very happy with the head they sent me.
Hopefully, no one will jack them for the cores. Cuz with my luck I may need another one soon and I need them to stay in business! |

QUOTE] I thought thats what you did? Did you send them back a 99 core? The whole point of this thread seems to be how to get a 99 head without having the right core to send back. |
^^ I'd like to know this too.
The CHI route sounds very appealing. My '99 head has 102k miles & is in good shape but I still planned to rebuild + PnP it. But for $350 + S/H, a fully rebuilt, 1-year warrantied head beats most rebuild prices I've found. |
I had a couple of chewed up 99 heads laying around so I sent them back a 99 head.
On ebay it says they will charge you $100 core charge if they don't receive a core back. On the box, when I actually got the head, the label on it says without a core returned you will not get the warranty but doesn't say anything about core charge. |

Machine shops around here charge more than that just for labor. |

For that price, plan on used valves (machined), used springs (tested hopefully), and all the cam followers and shims used as well.
A new set of CHEAP springs is gonna be $30-40, new set of manley valves runs $300. There is nothing wrong with reconditioned parts on a head, so long as the work was done right. |
