WTB: Good, Low-Mileage VG Heads

Bent the valves in mine, and it seems like it may be easier to buy a replacement set rather than fix mine...if you already have them pulled off the motor.

Let me know...

There are two VG's about an hour or two away from me. One is $150, the other is $200, with the cheaper one stuck with what I assume to be bad heads since the timing belt broke. I don't mind doing favors.

Any more info on them? Are we talking motors or complete cars? All I want is the heads and only if they are low (sub 150K) mileage and in good condition. Otherwise I will pull mine and fix them.

They are complete engines apparently. I would lean towards the first one. I suppose I could go in with you for the other stuff and try and sell it at cost on here. Someone would need some internals or the accessories at some point....... I don't know what shipping would be like for them, but like I said, it's no big deal for me to go pick up and ship.

I was going to recommend you just get new heads but you seemed set on repairing yours. You're probably looking for a cheaper alternative, but: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSA...Q5fAccessories

Of course you need to take the heads off anyway. Maybe just tear it down, inspect and make a decision on what you want to do.

That is a great option! The first step for me is to locate a garage to put the car in, then I will pull the heads and decide whether I want to mess with putting new valves, etc. in or if it is worth it to order from this guy. I would be interested to know what brand(s) of parts he uses...Obviously, OEM would be best.

I will keep you posted. The first step is to find a garage to put the car in and take the head off to see how bad it is.
