Alright guys, got my new head!
It's an A87 with enlarged ports, a cam (Believed to be a Kelford) and bigger valves (So the old owner told me)
Any way heres some pics
Inlet & Exhaust ports
A close up on 1 & 2 cylinders
Intake lobe on #3
Exhaust lobe on #2
Stoked it's a 'closed' head
Now this is where I'm slightly worried...
If you have a close look at the #2 chamber, there is marks from a bolt being in the in the head.
The old owner is a well respected mechanic, races speedway and used to race a Datsun 1200 powered by a L16 with this head on it, which was in the car when he bought it.
He only removed the head after it dropped a piston, and knew this was the most valuable part of the whole car lol.
The valves are straight as. Makes me wonder if it happened earlier in its life, and the valves were replaced and banged back together.
He said it wasn't a 'lumpy' cam but it was very torquey motor. and never skipped a beat, until the piston dropped.
Is this something I should be very worried about?
The cam markings
There are what I believe to be rather curious markings on the back of the head...
I found this a little different.. Nissan logo shape with an elephant in it?? WTF??
So whats the verdict? Have I done well for $150?

Re: 82' 910 Bluebird
Has there been much work done further down the ports? It's a bit hard to tell in the pictures. Looks like it's been around the bolt a few times with the helicoiled manifold bolt holes, the damage to the combustion chamber should be a pretty straight foward/easy repair, the head will probably need to be skimmed afterwards.

The porting goes 90% of the way down.
That's good to hear about the repair, now how do I go about it?

Any decent engine shop with a tig should be able to sort it for you.

Re: 82' 910 Bluebird
That's the problem, there's only one dedicated car Engine shop here, and they don't have the best track record...
At the same time I know you have to preheat and slowly cool the head during thè process so it doesn't crack.
