in all honesty you probably can get one for atound 700 .. running good .. probably not you will probably have to likely fix something whe nyou buy it or shortly after . Why not just buy the valves and fix your current car ?

How much they asking? i would just buy a new head. make sure that the pistons didnt take damage or you will be in well over 700 unless you buy used pistons. be sure to use all new rings and bearing though.

You can get it all done for around 700. I did my whole head, got a new head, valves, stems ect. Timing belt, studs n other essentials and gaskets for all under $700.

I paid $300 alone for my head.

Your forgetting about if he needs new pistons, did you replace yours?

Unless the car is cleaner than your dinner plate, i would only offer him 6-700 for the car. but thats your choice. Hell i only paid 600 for mine running, but it did have cosmetic damage.

As long as the valves didnt score up to bad or put holes in the pistons you shouldnt need to replace them, but i would figure it into your budget before you buy the car.
