    Default WTB Miata 1.6 head

    I'm lookin for a 1.6 head in good shape, no warping or valve leaks.


    Thanks.

    Do you have a bad Miata head?

    Bought the car with a blown headgasket and the head was majorly warped. Had it milled, now it refuses to run very well and I'm thinking the machine shop machined too much of the head off for the cam timing to be correct. Beyond that the hydrolic lifters are pretty chewed up. I'm also pretty sure the valves are leaking in this one also. I'm just thinking it best to start off with a head in better condition than continue fighting this one.
