Remanufactured Cylinder Head (0630 Casting)

[ty20404]

I bought a remanufactured cylinder head from Clearwater a month ago to replace what I thought was a cracked head. Regardless if the old head was cracked or not, I checked the compression once I bolted this down and three of the cylinders were bad. The other three had a compression of 160psi. The head was never "run" only cranked. I paid $260 for it, but would like to get $230. Would prefer local pick-up in Raleigh but if you would like to pay the shipping I suppose I can let it go for $260 and bite the bullet on shipping...

Either pm me here or you can email me, which will go straight to my phone: tbhull at ncsu dot edu.

Thanks

Anyone, this thing is practically brand new. Never run before, simply bolted down and removed.

I know this post is old but i'm looking for an 0630 and I'm in Raleigh.....curious if ever sold it?

thanks for the quick reply....looking at your jeep, I think you sold me your rims a few years ago...did you have any machine work done on your block when you pulled the head???...curious if you recommend a local machine shop.

If they were Canyon rims with 30" BFG A/Ts then I probably did, granted that would have been 6 or so years ago. I picked up a '96 Cherokee classic with a blown motor. I was going to swap out the head thinking it was cracked but three cylinders had awful compression so I sourced a Stroker for a great price and dropped that in... So to answer your question I don't know of a good machine shop first hand but some guys on my BMW forum have recommended Cylinder Head Specialties.
