This thread wasn't created to bitch about $40 (which I know I will never see). It's to inform people who does business with this dude in the future not to trust his word. If you do business with him, only buy things that you can check complete on the spot, and things that him and his cousin can't dis- and reassemble (like an intakes, bumper lens, etc.)


Also, get this out of the thread

If you buy a used head expect to replace Guides, Seats, etc. Also have a machine shop check out the head before you buy it. This is according to Vteckidd.

According to Gutling, if you buy a head and it only has a few bent valves consider yourself lucky since it used. Also if someone sells you something that has problems don't expect them to owe you anything in return.

Yeah if you buy a USED part and you are not thorough in examining it be prepared to spend money on it. WHat year is this cyinder head? You really think a used GSR head (FYI THE NEWEST IT COULD BE IS 2001 which makes it AT LEAST 9 years old) isnt going to need work when you buy it? These parts guys are 9 years old or more, they all have over 100k on it.

You wanted a PERFECT head, but you admitted you didnt really inspect it until AFTER you bought it. Sounds like you messed up, next time bring and expert or take it to a machine shop

You need to really calm down. All we are saying is if you want something done right, then you better make sure you take the necessary steps and precautions. you didnt. Never trust ANYONE at all.

So it has 4 slightly bent valves.

Its perfectly plausible that head ran on his car fine and he sold it to you. Maybe hes lieing, maybe hes not. The point is if hes shady or not, no one forced you to buy his head. you bought it, took it home, and are now complaining about it. It DOESNT WORK THAT WAY. How do we know your machine shop isnt bullshitting you to get extra money for labor from you?

Know what you are buying, thats all we are saying.
