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.
The cylinder head has: New Valve Giudes
New Seats
60 thou shaved off
Standard Ports
Manifolds avalible if wanted
Pictures on request
Cheers

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.

Sheesh. I've been ripped two times and those were both off this forum.

No trouble with ebay, apart from the paypal fees.

GOod luck with the sale.
