okay this is felipes old head, gotcha... didnt notice due to all the blue sh*t on it LoL
lets state the facts. i was the one that worked on the previous engine AFTER the engine was purchased, and let me say that this head DID IN FACT WORK PROPERLY. it didnt leak, vtec worked, and oil pressure was on spot... BUT! it was removed due to excessively loud ticking throughout the RPMs. So, i removed it and replaced the engine with another GSR head. i knew it was something in the head but due to short time i didnt bother looking around at the head.. just take off put on run.
further investigating, previous owner told me that NAD has said that the engine was rebuilt.. top to bottom. So its obvious Shadow is NOT at fault in book, why? cause he didnt know sh*t about the head... just knew it worked. The fact that he knew it worked is all that really mattered in you twos deal... OP shouldove examined the head more thoroughly before purchasing. Shadow couldnt have told OP that it ticked, cause his cousin never told him.. and again you really cant blame him for it.
that about sums it up, OP can pm me if any questions about the history of the engine because i can ask the previous owner. GL on both sides
