When people advertise 'reconditioned' cylinder heads for sale, what would you expect for your money? What work would you expect to have been carried out?________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue)1999 Rallye (black) |

Hi Mate,Well first I'd expect it to work with no issues; i.e. no tapping or burning oil etc. The work carried out would be a skim (if it needed it), replacement of any bent valves, replacement of valve stem seals, a pressure test and any failed valve stems replaced if needed. If the head is being supplied with the tappets; these may too be rebuilt - but I don't think they always are. Hope that helps  ________________________________________ Deepak Gohil |

As above, it should consist of 16 valves all lapped in, new valve stem seals, tappets compressed ready to be pumped back up again and freshly skimmed inc a pressure test.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Cheers for the info guys. 350/400 seems to be an average cost for a reconditioned head. Any idea how much it is to get a garage to swap one over?________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue)1999 Rallye (black) |

Just be wary of where they come from, Just had one done which was recon not that long ago to find it needed 8 guides plus other work, I'm worried that a car I bought has the same supplier recon head on which does tap slightly, I'm not naming anyone ________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |
