Lol! Oh yeah! It hurt but
it was the best deal going. For example.Take the $250 used head, tack on the $270 for shipping and then exchange rate and taxes brings you to $825 canadian and then add machining, guides, seals, you're closing in on $1200.
Trust me, at first my gut told me putting $900 into a head for this old 2.7 was absurd, but now that I have I'm thinking she's good for another 400,000kms! (;
I even treated her to new timing chains and gears.
