New o-ring question

[rbrettctd]

Im looking at a head that claims to be cut for firerings. Im just gonna do o-rings. Is there a difference in the cutting for firerings and o-rings, or just the fact that the block is cut for fire?

[cummins king]

fire rings are supost to be done on the block o rining is on the head
did you find that on ebay, there was a guy sell the same thing on there

[rbrettctd]

Yes. Would that be oringed? It is a reman, would $800shipped be a fair price for an already o-ringed head?

ya thats good, if its the guy on ebay i belive its a portied and posish head i could be wrong, but you still have to put the hd springs in and if its not ported or polished the thats an extra 400bucks or more, 800 isnt bad, but i think you can get him down, i could be wrong but after the auction ended the sent me an email saying i could buy it for 500 bucks see if you can get him down

[rbrettctd]

Alright thanks. I can put the HD springs on myself so thats no big deal. Most new ones are $5-700 before theyre touched.

[cummins king]

so you got a steal

[rbrettctd]

I sent him an email asking what he'd take for it....find out tomorrow i guess...

WELL?.....

I found out in the latest TDR magazine that the head needs to be VERY smooth on the mating surface. Local yokel who milled my head left it pretty rough. I'm looking at the possibility of a new head next fall, and would like to see what I can get for how much/ little.

Im still waiting to hear from him. I need to go ahead and get the head in the works, cause at the rate Im going, Im sure it wont last long. Ive heard the NI headgaset is weaker than others. And at 40lbs.... Im sure water meth and twins is in my future, but not before I stud/oring with a good head.
