Hey guys,
I have acquired a complete L18 SSS engine yesterday.
It has a V912 head on it (late nismo racing head)
I'm going to pull the head off to check the valve sizing etc tonight.
From initial inspection the cam is in excellent condition (no pitting or major wear marks) and it has been in dry storage for many years.
I'm curious as to what it is worth..
Only thing I can find on Google was from the states 9 years ago for $700usd.

Right, here's some measurements..
In comparison to a stock A87 head.
Both are Closed/peanut chamber
Intake ports:
V912 32x33mm
A87 30x30.5mm
Exhaust ports:
V912: 28.4x38mm
A87: 28x37.5mm
Intake valves:
V912: 35mm
A87: 33mm
Exhaust valves:
V912: 42mm
A87: 38mm
It also has some 'extra' numbers stamped into it.
Above 3&4 intake ports it has 'A1 ED
And on the flat machined face of the back of the head it has '2600 1.1' and a blue 'stamp' over top of it
An down to the right of that on the rough casting it has a 'Z' and an 'O' on theyre sides then an '8' upright

Re: Nismo V912 racing head
About $100 if it’s hard and hasn’t been planed.I'm curious as to what it is worth.
