    Need an 885 head, WTT for other parts

    OK Guys I have been trying to get my car back on the road for awhile now. It seems like everytime I fix one thing I find something else .

    So.... my budget is depleted but I do have a few parts to trade.

    Parts to trade are:
    m20 b27 long block, timing belt went out and bent a few valves but the head would be good for a core and the bottom end could be used as is (after a thorough cleaning). pistons do have a couple of nicks but the crowns are clear. Includes pan and VC. I also have the IM w/ TB and stock exhaust manifolds.

    2 bronzit coupe doors w/ regulators and good power mirrors. Decent shape, minor scuffs/ dings but nothing big

    Red door cards for coupe, decent shape and fairly clean includes map pockets and handles.

    I also have a set of ASA/BBS 16" 5 spoke wheels but I really want to keep them or swap for basket weaves (I need a head bad though :))

    What I need:
    An 885 head, preferably one I could bolt on and go but a good bare head would do. **priority one ATM**

    A blue or tan leather back seat.

    Early IS front airdam and one OEM foglight

    Grilles/kidneys and associated clips

    Carpet for cabin and trunk, tan, black, or blue

    A decent set of 16'' tires so I can get these ghetto ass chrome things off my car!!!

    I am halfway between Houston and Dallas on I-45. Its about the same distance to Austin as well, ~150 miles. I can deliver small parts on my bike for 15 cents a mile or bigger stuff in the truck for 50 cents a mile. Shipping bigger stuff is kinda a pain since I live in the sticks but I can do it if need be.

    Pics coming soon, if I cant find my camera I'll take them with the phone.

          What are the differences between the I cam and the SETA?

            you will only be able to rev it to 5k as it sits, but the valves and what not are in good shape, car had 170k on it but was an automatic.

              Does the SETA cam not have journals for the extra bearings? I thought the SETA head was the same as the I head except without the addition of the inner set of valve springs?

              Sorry a little detail might be useful here: My head (885 in an m20b25) runs good but has a crack from the valve cover gasket surface to the base of the #5 exhaust valve spring. I could use my valve-train in your 885 head and still have the 7k redline correct? I am also wondering if the grind on the SETA cam might be better for my application, if it is different from the I grind.

                swap your valvetrain into the seta 885 head for best results, the seta head uses normal eta internals, so no it would not be a good idea to use the cam. i can empty the head out and send just the casting, will probably help with shipping too.

                  I'll keep it in mind but unless someone buys something from me or I can pick up some spare cash in the near future I will have to swap for one. I wish I had caught this damn crack before it got all the way to the spring seat, or before I had spent all my tax return on other shit.
