I can't think that it will be much more expensive than a standard one.You are just changing the thickness.

Why I don't like the copper idea is because as mentioned you can run into sealing problems. Look at bones's reply.
He decked his head and block to make sure it is flat and clean. With your cylinder head already over skimmed, I don't think you can try to do it again.

Why do you want to use a copper one?
My mechanic friend told me you can order a custom thickness one from Payen. He once installed one on a over skimmed BMW engine of 3mm thick. No problems yet.

sssute's pic looks good to me. Try that setup.

Ok guys. Newest update.
I have managed to get 3 more of these babys.
Here is a link to how they look if you want to see a pic.

Unfortunately the guy at the wrecker knows that they are difficult to find and I need to ask $95 (Aus) excluding postage for one. We can send by sea which will make it cheaper to send to your side of the world. PM me if interested.

Thanks man. My engine het 'n genuine 150 000km op. Was 'n ou tannie sin toe my pa hom gekoop het. Ek het toe ek student was hom oorgeneem. Ek het wel 'n spaar GX engine blok as my engine sinne dalk kak is.

Racetech, 'n ander ding, ek sukkel om 'n deluxe se cam te kry. Ek wil 'n deluxe cam laat re-profile. Wil jy nie bietjie daar onder hoor van iemand wat 'n cam vir my het nie?
Dit moet nie GX wees nie want blykbaar het hy min vleis om profile mooi te verander. Die deluxe sinne is 'n economy profile, so daar is baie vleis om mee te speel. Ek laaik nie opweld nie, toe stel die een mechanic hier voor ek moet deluxe cam kry dan sal dit heel moontlik nie nodig wees nie.

As far as I know, the 1400 bakkie in South Africa has a comp of 9:1.

Met ons k@k rand exchange rate seker weer duur storie.

As far as I know, yes.

I don't know what the bakkie head will cost.

The price is only the head complete with the valves and double valve springs, no rockers. My only concern is that I have never come across a head that the cylinder head shop told me the valves and valve springs can be re-used again. Maybe just my bad luck.
