Andy,

Where in Co. are you?

I'm up in Conifer (west of Denver off of 285).

I have an eary model head that I pulled off of a hydrolocked (cracked cylinder wall) engine. The block, other than the damned cracked wall, was in excellent shape so I don't have any reason to believe that that the head would be in need a valve job. I also have a set of pistons, rods, crank, cam tower, etc. out of the same engine. I also have good info on local outfits in Denver that could do the work on this for you if it needed a valve job.

I'm down in north Denver (62nd and Washington) every day helping a friend start up the local franchise of Big Box Storage, so if you're close by to that area and want to stop by the warehouse just let me know what day and I'll bring it down and let you look at it. I could also bring my mic's and dial indicator so we could check the stems and valve play to be sure as well as a straight edge to check for any warpage. If it's all good you should be able to bolt it right on although I would replace the stem seals as it's been stored dry for about 3 years now.

I'm thinking no more than $100 if everything checks out and then less if it's going to need work.
