    Default High comp head value

    Just wondering what a reconditioned 202 high compression head is worth these days

    It depends what has been done to the head and what head it suits etc.

    I have a big valve 202 head with loads of porting work & combustion chamber work, heavy valve springs, 7deg collets etc I pulled the roller rockers off, I havent sold it yet and im wanting approx $500 for it.

    cheers

    I might be keen on that Scott

    Though the shipping would be a killer - so maybe not :P

    What kind of power/economy were you pulling out of that setup? I'm assuming it was an EFI head?

    its a standard high compression head that has had the seats done and valves ground.
    Nothing special.
    Engine has been turned over about 5 times before head got ripped off due to engine being stripped out.
    Ive just been told that high comp heads are worth more and i want to sell it

    Standard, reco head with hardened seats? Probably only around $200... that's the most I'd pay - even then I'd try to talk you down to $150.
