listen mate I dont give a damm how much it goes for,we all know if the head is skimmed to death its worth sod all (internal are though),hence WHY I have adviced the seller to take it apart,the chances of the crank being fucked is low and if itds needs a grind its still worth £400 done as you cannot get them anywhere so which ever way he will get more than £500,
the head striped again will make good money
cam £100 pair
inlet valves at £5 each and thats giving them away £40
exh valves at £10 each another £80
thats £220 for a scrap skimmed to death head
but what do i know Ive only been breaking them for 20 years
