the_moose Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Phillip head services are currently machining my sr20 head. Found them to be really helpful and reasonably priced.

wilderboy Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 I think I want a full reco like new valve guides, valve stem seals, shave and adjusting the clearance on the shims What is port and polish?

zebra Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 you are looking at $1000+ for that without touching the ports, you have no shims, RB25s have hydraulic lifters Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407610-head-recondition/#findComment-6500015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilderboy Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 I just need to redo the valve guides and valve stem seals the rest is ok I just thought I should get it all done while its off Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407610-head-recondition/#findComment-6500082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 You are looking at around 400 for new guides, stem seals will be about 100 bucks, facing the head will be 50-100 + labour to disasemble, clean and re-assemble (as a guess 100p/h + new gaskets (VRS kit is about 300 from memory) + new head bolts it gets expensive quick Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407610-head-recondition/#findComment-6501604 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Kasko Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Maybe just buy a 2nd hand head that's in good condition? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407610-head-recondition/#findComment-6501869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilderboy Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 So my neighbour is moving to Newcastle and he gave me a rb25det motor with a worked head with recipes so I'm going to take that off and get it cleaned and looked over and slap that baby on it Kasko scored a rb30 bottom end as well Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407610-head-recondition/#findComment-6514061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
