Is that a good post? Recently replaced the headgasket over the holidays. Car is still smoking and still loosing coolant. Now the smoke is not as bad, but it is loosing coolant more now than ever. Think the head might be cracked. Oh joy!!!

Anyone have an extra I5 20V head lying around???

I had a 7A head that I gave to a machine shop when I had them rebuild my 3B head. I stripped the valves and cams out of it, but the rest of the head was in good shape. What's left is the casting, bearing caps, exhaust valves, lifters, and valve cover.

I can try to get it back from the shop for you. Where are you located? If you're close to Dayton or Chicago, I can just give it to you.

And you know I'm in Chi-town. Didn't know you got 90q and I see 3B coming soon, ha?

Sweet, I am in Cols. OH...I would make a road trip to pick up a free head.

ehh, doubt it...would have some in the oil and i changed it after i did the head gasket

Double check the head bolts....

They'll need some attention to ensure proper fitment of new cams.

gonna do a compression check and then pull the EM to see if there is coolant in the pipes.

and see if I can get the casting back. Then it's yours. If what cuatrokoop is saying about cams being matched to the bearing caps, if you're willing to trade me your stock 7a cams, you can have the ones that are in the head.

All this is dependent on the machine shop giving me back my casting.

BTW, where in C-bus? I've got a friend in Powell that has some parts for my dad's prelude. If you could pick them up and bring them to me, you can have the casting.
