Default Mildly Built VVT Head w/ 2 Bent Valves

Asking $400

VVT cylinder head with 100k miles. I built this head for turbo/track abuse. It's built with +1 Flyin Miata Inconel intake and exhaust valves, as well as Supertech Double Heavy valve springs. 8,000 miles on the head since the valve job/spring install. The block this head was mated to was decked and built with Supertech forged pistons and was an interference motor. I had a timing belt break which resulted in piston to valve contact on the #3 intake valves, bending them slightly (pictured). The head also has a broken exhaust manifold stud that should be extracted, although I ran it without that stud with no exhaust leaks.

Minimally, it needs two valves and some machine work. I figure $400 is a good deal as new VVT heads are going fore $450 or more on eBay, and the working parts alone in this head cost more than that.

Shoot me a message if you're interested or have questions! Thanks.

-Zak

It was a blue Gates RPM belt. Long story that I didn't want to draw out in the first post, I had a water pump bolt back out and tag the belt, breaking it. The belt itself had no flaws.
