Who rebuilt it? Head been milled? Ever overheated? New springs? Valve seats okay prior to rebuild?

it came off my 86 only issue was oil consumption, never overheated, I dye checked for cracks, did not mill a .0015 feeler would not go thru, I did the work in our shop, I put the same guides in the head that is on the car now and very little oil use less than 1/2 quart in 2500 miles

Damn good price...I paid $550 for a complete head with cam, lifters, etc. that had valve job, other parts were used. Make sure your cam bearing tower threads are good shape or heli-coiled. I also didn't verify early or late cam, ended up drilling and tapping the flange of early cam to mate with late sprocket, on the car. If I did this more than once in my lifetime, I may have caught it early on, thought I had verified everything. The company I purchased from had "International" in their name, but their German wasn't the best

The Early heads will not work on the later pistons, I think the change over was in 86 @ some point. What engine number did this head come off of?
