all that is great.
the head shops are vague sure.... after all?, how can they make comments on any head not inspected and fully tested.
wear is unlimited.
ice damage same.
as is warping from heat damage.(and cracks seen or unseen)
what about all 3?
it would be goofy to speculate what might be wrong or if even serviceable at all (deep cracks inside. etc)
finding good old heads is not easy at all,
many shops. if you send them a head, even reject the core.... "not serviceable" and you must pay more for that fact. the core rebate is based on that. (exchanges)
keep in mind they have a warranty and want the head perfect so they don't get returns.
pulling that off on a 28 year old head, is a tall order.
some exchange heads here, cost $350 to 600....
Napa here, costs. $600
yes , when the piston moves down, there is vaccum created. 19" at idle. (way more decelerating)
this vacuum sucks hard, at the guides.
the guide that are worn will suck oil. there is no stopping that..... as they say Nature abhors a vacuum..... in this case, it tries to replace vacuum with oil.
and if R&R any statements would be wrong.
what will be , will be....
damage is , unlimited.
and point 3.
many would flat refuse the job.
there are parts not sold new.
it not a simple SI head. (all guides sold)
it's the magic obsolete CVCC head.
now one more fact.
when you press out 28 year old guides, and they are stuck, and the head is now damaged beyond repair (pressing failure) so now the core is gone. (and the core rebate.
and finding a good core can be impossible, given the 28 year old status....
I guess this guy has them..
