banzai510(hainz) Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 why dont you just swap the head. Most stock L16 heads are pretty cheap all together. Like 25$ 2/3 hours your done. Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 i would take a head too but i was just looking for simple route. and was hoping for a l18/20. and a head swap will cost me about 50-75 so if i can get a motor for 150ish then id go that route. i hate dealing with timong cams and such and hoping that the head gasket was torqued propper.
