anubis 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Hi Guys, slight issue, not too sure what to do, I suppose it's like preaching to the converted :) , but thoughts would be appreciated: The car needs a new head, which, with labour, MOT & other small issues will potentially come to around £1600 +. Question is, do I bite the bullett and have the work done, or do I sell it to someone willing to fork out on it ? :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted March 8, 2005 £1600 for a head + fitting?!? What engine? On a VR6 you could buy a second hand head, get it rebuilt and fitted AND do the timing chains and put a clutch in at Stealth for that! :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anubis 0 Posted March 8, 2005 It's a VR6, but it's also having a Service / MOT Leads and Plugs. I'm only guessing about the price, but was quoted around £1000 for the head etc... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 8, 2005 You can buy an R32 engine for about £1800! Kind of puts £1600 for a replacement VR head into perspective really.... That's the only way to keep these old dubs going....by putting newer engines into the older cars..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
