Umm.. standard exhaust valves? Seems strange if they've enlarged the intake valves... either way, seems expensive

Bigger inlets is fairly normal for a early stage head. The price is not bad tbh for all the work is done properly.

yea i figured that if any one had stuff on ebay ie volvo 300 stuff (or anything you find it would be a good idea to post here but we will see, it works on the landrover forums i use

We've got a bit of a different system here, basically usernames are listed in the offer's forum, and it was taken as "the done thing". But, then again, a few people don't follow that anymore... but hey!

Maybe a rethink is needed.

I think not out bidding other members, is entirely different to posting info on a part that wouldn't show up when searching for ebay for 340 and 60's.

Thanks pyro

Heh, agreed, sorry didn't mean that as a bad thing. Just a while ago a lot of rare parts got put up, and it caused the situation as it is now. As to whether the current situation is the best anymore, is what I was trying to get at!!!

There's been a lot of debate over this head on Tbricks, and the consensus is that it's not worth the money. A few notes on redblock heads...

First off, the 530 on the B200 is quite a nice flowing head. I'm confident you could see over 170bhp NA on a completely stock head.

Next up, especially for turbo applications, the exhaust valves are way more of a problem. Only KG Trimning's stage 3 turbo head touches the inlet valves, with exhaust valves being enlarged at both stages 1 and 2.

NA engines will require inlet valve enlargement sooner, pound for pound. It's a bit more of a problem for the 2.3 units than the B200, but even on a 2.3, there are far bigger problems. Sort out the intake, exhaust and cam first.

Only if the head was the ONLY stock portion

Haha, well yes....a little tweaking elsewhere may well be required
