    Is the head bent or cracked?

    Warped and soft in centre. As for second hand or new out of necessity I have to take that risk.

    The problem is trying to find a second hand head that doesn't have the same issues. A good running motor is going to be sold as a complete unit. If it has had issues then they strip them, most of the issues unfortunately are mostly head problems.

    Yes, still have it. I picked up a second hand head removed from a working motor, had it tested and was all ok. Couldn't use the one from Dave as I have been informed the car it was going into had been played with
