Timing belt failure? Buy a set of used .1R heads

ptuomov · 04:45 PM

I'll have a set of .1R heads for sale soon.

This is going to be a complete package: Heads with valves installed, cams, camcaps, lifters, cam chains, cam sprockets, etc.

The package will be coming off a running '87 S4 engine with about 160k miles on it. This is nic Heinrich's old motor, for those of you who have followed these boards for a while.

I am advertising this package as something that could be used to repair a timing-belt failure engine to its previous used condition with a reasonably low cost. The cost should be reasonably low, because the package includes cams that match lifters etc. so it's about as close to a quick swap as possible. No need to buy new lifters, etc.

The package wouldn't bring the engine to new condition. These are used heads and have miles on them. They work, but if one wants to bring them to "rebuilt" condition, refresh work may be needed, depending on measurements. I have no idea about the wear level etc.

Also, this set of heads probably not be an ideal starting point for any forced-induction performance build, because it's .1R set with thinner bolt bosses.

Email me at my username at gmail.com if interested. Haven't decided the asking price, so comments also appreciated.

Can't sell mine.... have 3 sets. Offered over and over

Let's make a line of coffee tables and lamps. Maybe they will sell

Trouble is everybody wants the thicker, later heads, but I suspect they would still sell at the right price.

Somebody has a complete S4 engine right now for $1600 with no takers.

Who's offering a complete engine for $1600, how complete is it, what year, and where is it located?

I didn't get this, what do you mean?

Sorry that was for Shawn the stealthy parts slinger.

I said I have 3 sets of these heads. I'm rebuilding them all- if he low balls you,
I'll buy them and give you a nice store credit if you like.

I like these heads. I bed some material in that area and use them. It may or may not do anything at all but I haven't see any problems yet. I figure the heads will probably be destroyed before the boss is a problem and besides, getting to throw your heads away and start on new ones is an exciting adventure of new opportunities!

928worldwide · 11-09-2009, 05:14 AM

Nice website Mike. Those ITB's SCHWWWIIIINNNNNGGGGGG. Same thing happened to me when I saw Louie's

Maybe if you could comprehend what you read you would have noticed that I was interested in BUYING his heads. Now, go get back under your rock Mason.

Buying them to sell them no doubt...

Nope, wrong again smarty pants. They would be for my 5.4 L turbo build. But of course you wouldn't know anything about that. All you do is destroy them, not build them. Run along now. Don't you have some more potential customers to piss off?

928worldwide · 11-09-2009, 10:33 AM

I saw the thread... Good luck with that.

I am new here, just picked up my first 86.5 dark blue 928. Timing belt broke and owner gave up. Car was garage kept with cover since new. Worth putting money into it.
Waiting for delivery of car to me.
Let me know what heads are worth these days, I can redo them myself, I have a complete machine shop but already finished heads are enticing.

Yikes, isn't a 86.5 Interference? If so, I sure hope you got that 928 for a steal as this project already sounds expensive.

Your heads are 32v but a different design than what Tuomo is selling. If your timing belt broke than you did bend valves.
Have no fear! I have a set of 85 heads I can sell you cheaply, also an entire parts car.
