Hi guys,

What started out as a light tick on the head, ended up snapping my camshaft in half due to oil starvation on one of the cam brackets. It's like all grinded up and messy in there....

I know that I could use a set of fresh piston rings and bearings but the bottom end is still useable. Anybody know where I can get just the head? I'm not looking to get any crazy horsepower so just stock is fine.

Someone please help me out. I love this car and I really want to see it get back on the road fast.

Find an '88 pulsar in a junk yard. I'm sure someone has one in the southeast. Its exactly the same head.

Yes it is, as i am swapping de and det heads now. Only differance is a plug that u can take out of the det and put in the de head, its part of the EGR system in usdm pulsars.
