For Sale Completley reconditioned a12 head, in Victoria.
This cylinder head wasdone up for racing but was used twice until upgraded to a different engine size. I spent around $450.00 on the head so i am asking at least that.

Yeah i know man but i spent that much thinking i would use the head. Considering that the head is quite new and that i spent $450.00 on it i would be silly to let it go for $100.
For the answer to your question Connor it is a standard round port head (a12) off a sunny.

most places reco an 8v pushrod head for 150-220
so $450 seems more than excessive when Gordon Dobey charges $650-800 for a full works racing head with big valves, new seats, dble valve springs, welded and reshaped chambers and ports.

Yeah sounds like alot i know. It did have double valve springs on it but they were sold. It was the labour that killed me, i though i would try a new builder but he murded me. As it turned out different rules came into my racing class and i was using an a15 head/manifolds almost straight away. So yeah is anyne interested?

It'd be great to grab a head in top condition with the milled underside.
Maybe some pictures would help sell? If all else fails, try ebay. You might be pleasantly surprised. I start all my auctions at $0.99 and offer cheap or free postage. This tends to get the punters interested much earlier on. I would be weary of making ALL your money back on your A12 head though, if it still had the springs you'd have a standing chance of selling it for at least half what you paid for the work.
