  • Wanted: 16v or 531 Head, preferably with work done.

I'll likely be whipping my cylinder head off this summer holidays for a freshen up and would like to have something better than standard to put back on in it's place. Worked/ported 531 head (cam not necessarily needed as I have an IPD turbo cam) would be best bang:buck ratio I imagine, but ill also consider a 16v setup. Happy to hear any suggestions. Cheers
I have everything
Stock and worked 531s and multiple 16v setups
I dont ship so not sure if a trip to my place is within reason
Had a look at this. He wanted a ported/worked 531 so didn't bother offering my head with the valves.
@egads yeah mate moved back home so on the coast again :)

@Philia_Bear I'll PM you soon mate thanks for the post! Will have lots of free time to come visit soon haha
I can organise for a head to be ported though. Most won't be. And its better to go for a bigger exhaust valve anyway.
@vee_que I don't mind either way.
I'm happy to facilitate a monster head build less cam, with you. if @Diverdonny likes.
He can have my 531 KG8 if Alex can do a 16V swap for me this weekend :P
Time to order those special 16v swap parts on overnight freight from Japan. Oh wait America. @a_volvo_driver

@Philia_Bear do you still have any of those worked 531 heads?
I have 4 x 16v heads, one with bent valves, one ex AQ171 low hours needs a clear up, one with 8 new exhaust valves in excellent cond and ex AQ171 in excellent condition 130 hours. all are in pieces.
I am in Sydney, Prices start from $250, I can buy gaskets, seals etc and assemble for an additional fee. Best to have a look or have someone look for you
