I'm new to this list. Well not really. I've been lurking in the shadows on and off for years but I guess I didn't have anything important to say until now. I've suffered a meltdown! Don't ask how it happened, you can guess pretty easily. Suffice to say I'm in dire straights. To be a bit more specific, I've got a cracked head that's not worth repairing (professional opinion, not just mine) and an engine that might be just fine but I'm not absolutely 100% certain. Aye, and there's the rub! Obviously I need a head. But I'm not inclined to throw mega-bucks at this engine for a new/rebuilt head if there's a chance that the motor is huffed. So therefore, I'm throwing myself down at the mercy of the list for some help or suggestions. I need to buy/borrow/rent/lease a 2.1 head long enough so that I can throw it on the old engine for a quick test. If the engine checks out OK than I can go ahead and do the job properly. So it doesn't matter if the old head you've got is badly pitted or has a slight valve leak, etc. as long as it's functional enough for me to run the engine for 5 minutes without having coolant pouring out in a big stream. So what about it? If you want to sell me an old pitted one, or loan one to to me for a couple weeks for a few bucks here's your chance. Obviously I'll pay for the shipping. HELP!
