Whats been done to it? any porting or anything?

technically it hasn't been ported just had imperfections smoothed out.

It a totally complete head. from an ECCS silver top. I the manifolds, fuel rail etc. to go with to. the only thing its missing is the igition timing moduel that goes on the cam cover. only the bare head itself has been reco'd but all the valves cams, etc etc are in good nic.

happy to post anywhere if you pay the postage. it won't be cheap though.

a nice reco'd head would be great for an RB20 drifter as you'd be punishing the head constantly in that application.

might be interested,but need more infor on the head,where about do u live,is inspection welcome?

any good pics will help if u can send to [email protected]

thanks a lot. :)

Located on the northern beaches. The head is at my mechanics workshop - Joviant - and inspection is more than welcome.

I haven't got any pics. its really just a shiny new head. It all in bits, the mech, Brett, is going to re-assemble it for me for the sale but if you want to install things like new valves, springs, guides etc i could leave it all separate for you. rocker covers are off so they are ready to be painted or chromed to suit your taste (i was gonna go matt black)

As far as info goes what i've given is it. Its been shimmed, so the side that sits on the block is perfectly flat, no warped edges that help to blow gaskets, crack tested and came up 100% fine, and imperfections have been taken out of the combustion chambers, inletc etc. its only just come back from the shop - even i haven't seen it yet.

apart from having a nice new head - the real value is that if you want to do some head work and install some gear in the top end, this one is already out and has been machined. to remove your existing head and do the same you'd have to pay for all the labour time taking it off and putting it back on and put your car of action. plus you'd have to at least have the head shimmed before you put it back on. this has had all the hard and expensive work paid for now you can just install the parts and wack it on. Then you can sell your old top end.

FOR INSPECTIONS CALL ME: ROWAN: 0410 321 343 AND I'LL ARRANGE WITH JOVIANT.

CHEERS :laugh:

$250?

Sorry thats a bit low. i've got a guy offering me $400 pickup at the moment so its on hold. but as with most sale inquiries on here that may not go through. i can possibly sell you an RB20 head that hasn't been shimmed or washed for $280.

Pics?

Its an RB20 top end. no different to any other standard one, except its clean and the bottom is flat.

i haven't even seen it yet. its sitting in the machine shop on the other side of Sydney waiting for someone to give it love, so its a bit hard for me to get pics, sorry. i'm sure there are some on the net somewhere to give an idea if you've never seen an RB20 head off the block.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
