ok everyone heres the deal.... my car is a 90 240 with 185k mi. runs good, but has a blown headgasket, and had noisy lifters, so i decide to buy a head from a friend. i take the head to the machine shop and get it shaved on a broach, get three new valves, 3angle , hot-tanked and magna-fluxed. all that for $125.. im pretty sure that a good price. so while im waiting for the head to get back the lifter noise goes away. what the hell? i just paid 150 for the head plus 125 for the machine work and i just bought a fel-pro (multi-layer steel) head set for 85. ive always planed to turbo my motor but i was wondering if my "new" head will fit any other nissan blocks ( L-series , Zseries) so i dont have down time while changing the head. i plan on doing a port-n-polish job myself but was wondering if any one had tips on how this is done, should i just trace the gasket then start porting or what..... pictures would be wonderful.. plus i would like to know if anyone has the prices for the (pistons, rods, crank...etc) of all the possible blocks that the ka-e head will fit..... any response is appreciated thanks
