    Front cylinder head

    May need a front cylinder head as my one has burned out between a piston and a waterway. I have a spare but need to check it is ok as it came of an engine with a misfire.

    I will know tomorrow if it is ok and would need delivery by the weekend if required. If somebody has one at a good price though and can deliver fast may take it anyway

    Peter have tried contacting Phil? He may be able to help you with the spare engine he has.

    Agree Peter. But are there lots of broken engines? I have an engine, but if i take a head off it, it makes the rest of the engine worthless. And if you know of cars that are breaking, then why not ask those members directly

    Glenn's got a good point - it seems that very few engines have been broken for spares. They are either sold as complete units, or they are already broken! In which case, the heads are possibly in a poor condition, depending on what the breakdown was.
