Cylinder head replacement
Hi, where would be the best place to obtain an exchange B20b cylinder head? I'm thinking that rather than go to all the bother of having hardened valve seats fitted and then new valves, springs, guides etc. an exchange refurbished might be a better bet, especially as the water channels and the alu' water tube would be clear and not restricted. Finding a trustworthy specialist here is a bit of a problem.

Arcturus;
I can't help with suggested source for Portugal, but believe internal Coolant Distribution Pipe was brass, even in the late FI Cyl Head... getting a complete one when the opportunity is right from more central Europe, where they were quite common, might be a good solution. Cheers |

VP have an unleaded head listed for about 430 euros which at Dutch labour rates would be a bit of a saving in machining costs. I would expect to have to pay at least 500 euros for parts and work to convert a head here.
